Thyme and cinnamon are an unexpected antioxidant pair in this elegant dessert, where thyme's minty-green flavor accents the subtle sweetness of maple, cinnamon and lemon peel.

Makes 4 servings.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

INGREDIENTS

4 ripe firm pears, such as Bosc, Bartlett or Anjou

1 cup pear nectar

1 cup water

3/4 cup maple syrup

2 McCormick® Cinnamon Sticks, slightly crushed

1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick® Thyme Leaves

4 strips lemon peel

DIRECTIONS

1. Peel and core pears from the bottom, leaving stems intact. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each pear to provide a flat, even bottom. Set aside.

2. Mix remaining ingredients in large saucepan. Bring to boil. Place pears in liquid in saucepan, standing pears with stems pointing up. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, 20 to 30 minutes or until pears are tender. Remove pears from saucepan.

3. Cook liquid 15 minutes longer or until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Serve pears drizzled with sauce.

Tips

Test Kitchen Tip: Use a melon baller to core pears by pushing the smaller end of melon baller into the bottom of the pear, then turn it to bore a hole and scoop out the seeds and fibrous core. This will leave the stem intact.
