Maple Syrup Day

 

Sugar maple trees are commonly found in the United States. The trees can not thrive in aareas where the summer temps frequently reach over 100 degrees or where the winter temps stay below zero degrees. Sugar Maples often reach more than 125 feet high tall and possess beautifully grained with aromatic sap. One of my favorite thing about these amazing trees is the beautiful fall colors that they offer. 

• 4 ripe but firm D’Anjou pears
• 3 tablespoons butter*
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• Optional topping: chopped pecans

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Peel the pears and cut them in half length-wise. Carefully scoop out the core and seeds from each half.
3. In a cast iron or other oven proof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
4. Place the pears in the skillet, cut side down, and cook them until they are starting to get browned, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Using a fork, carefully flip pears to cut side up and continue to bake another 10 minutes.
6. Remove the pears from the oven and carefully transfer them to a platter.
7. Put the skillet back on the stove over low heat, and whisk in the maple syrup with the butter and juices in the skillet.
8. Spoon the maple syrup sauce over the pears. If desired, sprinkle with chopped pecans. Enjoy!
