Slow-baked to perfection, they become buttery soft, fragrant, and naturally sweet—all without refined sugar. The gentle warmth of cinnamon, the subtle floral notes of saffron, and the rich aroma of vanilla create a soul-warming treat perfect for cozy evenings.

Why Baked Pears?

Pears are at their best in winter, transforming into a delicious, nutrient-rich dessert when baked. Not only are they naturally high in fiber and antioxidants, but they also absorb the beautiful flavors of spices, making them an elegant yet simple dish.

Recipe: Baked Pears with Saffron, Cinnamon & Vanilla

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
  • 4 firm Beurre Bosc pears, peeled
  • 400ml water
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 long strip of orange zest
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped
  • A pinch of saffron threads
  • 4 tbsp coconut cream (for serving)

How to Make the Best Baked Pears

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Syrup

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a saucepan, combine water, maple syrup, orange zest, cinnamon, vanilla seeds and pod, and saffron. Gently simmer over low heat to infuse the flavors.

Step 2: Bake the Pears

Place the peeled pears in an ovenproof dish, then pour the warm syrup over them. Bake for 40-50 minutes, turning and basting every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Step 3: Serve & Enjoy

Once tender and beautifully caramelized, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with a generous drizzle of coconut cream.
