The BariGirls Baked Pears with Cranberries, Honey and Pumpkin Seeds

4 Bosc or Bartlett Pears

1 cup of Dried Cranberries

4 tbs Pumpkin Seeds

¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon

¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg

4 tsp raw Honey

Greek Yogurt, if desired

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Halve the pears and core by using a cookie scoop or tablespoon.  Slice a small part off the backside of each half to create a flat surface so the pear will sit flat when placed on the cooking pan.

Place the pear halves on a large cooking pan, cored side up.  Place 3-4 cranberries into the cored part of each pear half.  Sprinkle each pear half with about ½ tbsp of the pumpkin seeds and then sprinkle each pear half with the cinnamon and nutmeg.  Drizzle each pear half with ½ tsp of honey (to make it easy, place the honey in a ½ tsp spoon and then drizzle on each half.

Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until the pears are tender.  Serve with yogurt dollop, if desired.
