  • 0.33333334326744 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3 large pears, peeled, halved, and cored
  • 0.33333334326744 cup walnuts, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoons brandy
  • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons brandy, sherry, or other liqueur

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Mix 1/3 cup brown sugar, water, and lemon juice together in an ungreased baking dish until sugar is dissolved. Place pear halves into the dish with the flat sides facing down; baste with sauce. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pears are fork-tender but not mushy, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix walnuts, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons brandy, and yogurt together in a small bowl.
  • Beat cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Add white sugar and 2 teaspoons of brandy; gently whip a few strokes more to incorporate.
  • Flip warm pear halves and transfer to serving plates. Fill cavities with nut stuffing and top with whipped cream. Spoon remaining cooking sauce over top.
