How to Make It
Step 1
Drain pears, reserving 1 1/4 cups liquid. Set pears aside. Combine 1/4 cup reserved liquid with cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon, stirring until smooth.
Step 2
Combine remaining 1 cup liquid with sugar, bourbon, and butter in a small saucepan; gradually stir in cornstarch mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter melts and sauce is thickened.
Step 3
Place pears in an ungreased 8" square baking dish. Pour sauce over pears; sprinkle with coconut and pecans.
Step 4
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 18 minutes or until bubbly. Serve warm.
