Roasted Pears Glazed in Mulled Spice Vinegar

Recipe By Chef Lauren Mahlke

This dish is so versatile it can be served with brunch topped with mascarpone or ricotta cheese or with vanilla ice cream as a winter dessert. Roasting in the cinnamon and clove We Olive Mulled Spice Balsamic Vinegar adds a bakeshop essence for a sweet and tart dish. I only eat ripe pears as a snack so this is a great recipe to use up your not quit ripe pears.

Serves 4

• 4 pears sliced in half lengthwise core and seeds remove.
• 1 tsp of cinnamon
• 1/2 cup of We Olive Mulled Spice Balsamic Vinegar

Preheat oven to 400*
In a non-reactive bowl stir cinnamon and Mulled Balsamic with a fork. Toss sliced pears so they are completely glazed in balsamic.
Arrange pears, cut side down, in a baking dish.
Roast the pears until caramelized, turning them over half way through baking about 20-25 minutes.
Fill core with your choice of cheese or ice cream and before serving Drizzle remaining balsamic mixture on top of pears.
