Baked Pears

I had some ripe pears that I wanted to use up before they became overripe and decided to try baking them.
Lets see how this turns out...

Ingredients:

2 ripe pears

A spoonful of real maple syrup

A sprinkling of cinnamon

A handful of walnuts


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Slice pears lengthwise, discard cores and stems.

Place them into a glass pie plate or other cook wear.

Sprinkle cinnamon, drizzle maple syrup, and top with walnuts.

Bake until the pears are tender, approx. 25 minutes.

Here's my ingredients and the pears ready for the oven. That's my baby girl in the background!

Fresh from the oven!

They've just come out of the oven, pipping hot, and smelling beautifully!
Here goes the first bite...  this is really nice!

But the big test -- will my 8-year old like it?

Well, he ate one slice and said it was okay, but didn't want any more.
I'm a little disappointed... but more for Mummy then!

UPDATE: Little M decided to have a bowl of pears before bed after all. He still just classifies them as "okay" though.
