directions

  • Combine honey with the three spices; blend well.
  • Lay the pear on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle the spiced honey overtop.
  • Roast the pear in a preheated 350* oven for about 10-15 minutes or until softened and caramelized.
  • Stir the roasted pear into the pumpkin; stir in brown sugar.
  • Stir in the cranberries.
  • Cover and keep in a 200* degree oven for 30-45 minutes until heated through (and flavours have melded).
  • Stir and serve (also really tasty the next day, when the flavours have REALLY melded!).
  • Enjoy!

  1. I made this and couldn't quite decide if it was an odd side dish or a messy dessert. I added a gingersnap crumb topping (with brown sugar and pecans), baked it another 25 minutes, and made it into a crumble. As such, it's found its way into my recipe file!
     
  2. Comfort food, pure and simple! A perfect side dish for getting your kids to eat their veggies, and if you put a dollop of whip cream on top, it would make a fine, not-too-sweet dessert, for people who aren't big on sweets!

I'm an enthusiastic young chef who loves to experiment!! I love cooking because i have a multitude of food allergies including all nuts and some legumes, as well as celiac disease. Cooking allows me to enjoy the foods i love without worry! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/NewZealandFlax.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> How I rate recipes: 5 star - WOW! This recipe was really good and exceeded my expectations. I made no or little changes to the recipe and will definitely make it again. 4 star - A very good recipe. I quite enjoyed it, but had to make a few changes here and there. All in all, it met my expectations. I will probably make it again. 3 star - An ok recipe. I liked it a bit, but had to make major changes. It may have a good flavour, but the texture was off or something. Usually I don't make three star recipes again. 2 star - I didn't enjoy this recipe. The flavour and texture was WAY off and so were the directions. I will not make this recipe again. 1 star - I don't give one stars! I think they are too mean!
