Baked Pears

Ingredients

• Pears
• Coarse sea salt (formerly 'bay salt')

Directions

The book says “a slow oven”. The 300°F (150°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

1. Wipe the pears clean without peeling them.

2. Place the pears on a baking sheet.

3. Bake in a slow oven at 300°F (150°C) until soft.

4. When they can bear it, flatten them gently with a silver spoon.

5. Once fully baked, transfer them to a serving dish.
