Ingredients

  • 6 large ripe pears
  • ½ lemon
  • 5 tablespoons butter, at room temperature

Method

  1. Cut a thin slice off the bottom and remove the top from each pear as shown in Preparing the Pears, Steps 1 and 2. Discard the bottom slices and set the tops aside. Core the pears, using a melon baller. Rub the cut bottoms and tops with the cut side of the lemon to prevent browning. Squeeze a few drops of juice into the cavities.</
