Baked Pears.
- Pears
- Golden syrup
- Water
Wipe some large sound pears, arrange them in an enamel baking dish with stalk ends upwards, pour a little water over them, and enough golden syrup to sweeten (say one tablespoonful to every three pears). Bake in a slow oven 2 hours or more. If baked slowly they will be juicy, tender and sweet, baste them frequently with the syrup and water, if oven is too hot cover with oven shelf. Serve with cream or custard.
