Baked Spiced Pears
Serves 6
Ingredients
3 large ripe pears, peeled
6 small cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
7 teaspoons canola margarine
1/2 cup SPLENDA® Granular
Freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup orange juice
- Preheat oven to 160°C.
- Halve the pears lengthwise and remove the cores. Place pears cut side down and cut each half crosswise into 5 or 6 even slices, being careful to retain the shape of the pear.
- Place each half in a baking dish and slide the slices to make them fan out. Place a cinnamon stick alongside each pear. Sprinkle the pears with the cinnamon.
- Cream the canola margarine with the SPLENDA® Granular and dot each pear half with the mix. Dust with a little grated nutmeg. Bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes. Serve hot.
