Ingredients

  • 2 ripe pears
  • 2 tablespoon butter use dairy free butter if needed
  • 2 tablespoon Local Hive™ New England Honey
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • teaspoon nutmeg
  • teaspoon cloves

For the oat crumble

Instructions

  • 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.
