Slice pears in half and use a melon baller or tablespoon to remove the core. Set the pear halves aside on a plate.
In a skillet, brown the butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter turns a light brown caramel color. Add the Local Hive™ New England Honey and stir into the butter mixture. Sprinkle in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and mix to distribute.
As the honey butter mixture is bubbling, place each pear half flat onto the skillet, skin side up. Allow the pears to caramelize for 4 - 6 minutes until the edges turn a golden brown. Make sure to keep an eye on the skillet’s heat as you don’t want the butter to begin to burn.
Once the pears are caramelized, transfer them to a separate plate. Add the rolled oats, chopped pecans, and vanilla extract to the skillet and mix into the extra butter mixture over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until the oats have softened and little clusters begin to form.
