Honeyed Pears

Honeyed Pears are a delightful Paleo Chinese dessert that features tender, sweet pears infused with natural honey and fragrant spices. This simple yet elegant dish is a perfect way to end a meal, offering both sweetness and a touch of warmth.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe pears - halved and cored
• 4 tablespoons raw honey
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, honey, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to dissolve the honey.
2. Add the halved pears to the saucepan and squeeze in the lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
