Simple and elegant dessert! I made my own apple cider and used raw tupelo honey along with vanilla bean paste, so it was really fantastic. I also used greek double-thick yogurt for simplicity and vanilla bean paste for intense flavor. I only fit 6 pears into my dish, but it was enough. I think the yogurt cream would be great with other fruit...can't wait to make it again.
Honey-Roasted Pears with Sweet Yogurt Cream
Randy Mayor; Lydia DeGaris-Pursell
Pears for roasting are best if they're a little on the firm side. Because the skins take on a beautiful deep-amber glaze when roasted, we left them on. The yogurt in the Sweet Yogurt Cream drains for 24 hours, so start it the day ahead.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 4 pear quarters, 2 tablespoons basting liquid, and 2 tablespoons sweet yogurt cream)
