Roasted Pears

We bought a bag of D'Anjou pears from Costco but since they aren't ripe yet, they just sit on the counter looking very sad and lonely. I wanted to use them up so I tested out a new roasted pear recipe. There are a gazillion recipes out there on this, and I went with the Giada De Laurentiis version because it is SO easy to do.

Melt brown sugar into equal part apple juice, then stir in 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour that mixture over your peeled and cored pears and then let them sit in a 400 degree oven for about an hour. The pears come out soft and caramel-y, perfect with some vanilla ice cream!
