Pears and Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon Glaze

Method

Pears and Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon Glaze

  1. 1

    Prep and preheat

    Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Wash and dry the pears. Peel, core, and halve them lengthwise. Keep halves intact and set on a baking dish.

  2. 2

    Make bourbon glaze

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, brown sugar, maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar, and reduce for about 4–6 minutes until slightly thickened.

  3. 3

    Finish glaze and butter

    Remove from heat and whisk in melted butter and vanilla extract until glossy.

  4. 4

    Roast pears

    Arrange pear halves in the baking dish, cavity side up. Lightly drizzle with a portion of the glaze and add 1/4 cup water to the dish to help keep pears moist.

  5. 5

    Bake and baste

    Bake for 20–25 minutes, until pears are tender but still hold together. Baste pears with remaining glaze halfway through baking to deepen flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let pears rest 5 minutes. Plate with roasted pears, spoon more warm glaze over, and serve with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
