Dessert: Roasted Pears

I made this dessert after a steak night. I thought it was an excellent ending to a romantic meal with my husband. The evenings are starting to get cooler so a warm dessert is perfect for this time of the year.

2 Bosc pears, halved and cores removed

1/2 cup pineapple rum

1/2 cup brown sugar

4 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 375

In heavy sauce pan heat rum, sugar and butter til butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Place pear halves, inside up, in shallow baking dish and prick in several spots with fork. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of rum sauce over each one. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes, turning halves over halfway through baking and spooning sauce over each one as needed.

Serve each pear, inside facing up, topped with ice cream and drizzled with remaining rum sauce
