Ingredients

Ginger crumb

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the pears in a ceramic baking dish in a single layer.
2.Place the honey, butter, vanilla pod, lemon juice and zest in a small pan over a medium-to-low heat, stirring until the butter has melted.
3.Brush two-thirds of the mixture generously overthe pears.
4.Bake the pears in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and baste with some of the remaining honey mixture. Do this several times during cooking until the pears have softened, this should take 30-40 minutes.
5.Meanwhile, for the ginger crumb, place all the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until you have a rough crumb.
6.Once the pears have cooked, allow to cool slightly before serving with a swirl of Tatua Dairy Whip Whipped Cream and a good sprinkling of the ginger crumb. Serve immediately.
