Roasted stuffed pears

Ingredients

• 1 ripe but firm Anjou pear
• 1 tablespoon dried cranberries
• 1 tablespoon chopped toasted walnuts
• 1 tablespoon crumbled goat cheese
• 1/4 cup apple cider
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Preparation

• Peel the pear and slice it lengthwise in half. With a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the core and seeds, leaving an indentation for the stuffing.
• Place pear halves in a baking dish.
• In a small bowl, mix together the dried cranberries, walnuts, and goat cheese.
• Divide the stuffing mixture evenly among the pear halves, mounding it on top of the indentation.
• In the bowl, whisk together the apple cider and maple syrup. Pour mixture over and around the pears.
• Bake for 30 minutes, occasionally basting the pears with the cider mixture.
• Serve warm or at room temperature on a bed of greens, dressed with the cider mixture.
