RECIPES FOR PEARS

CINAMMON APPLE PEARS

750g Organic Pears
500ml Organic Apple Juice
1-2 Cinammon Sticks
Organic Dairy House Jersey Cream/Crème Fraiche to serve

Heat the Oven to 180C

Peel, core and slice the pears and use them to line the bottom of a baking dish, choose a size the pears fit snugly into and maybe overlap a little.

Cover the pear slices with apple juice and put 1-2 pieces of cinnamon stick into the juice.

Cook in the centre of the oven for 25 mins or until the pears are soft.

Serve hot with cream or crème fraiche. Very moreish and you even feel you are eating healthily (with perhaps the exception of the cream!)
