Notes

Choose ripe but firm pears for the best texture. Feel free to experiment with different spices, like allspice or cardamom, for a unique flavor. For serving, top with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent touch. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
