Steamed Pears

Recipe from HERE

Not-so-ripe Pears (Asian pear suggested is best)

Spoonful of honey

Cinnamon stick

Ginger

Pine nuts (optional, I didn't use)

Dried Korean dates (optional, I didn't use)

Wash the pear, cut off the top, scoop out the core with a melon baller to form a little bowl inside the pear. Be careful not to puncture through the bottom of the pear. Put in a spoonful of honey, a couple of thin slices of ginger, and a cinnamon stick along with a couple of scooped out pear pieces (or any other optional ingredients). Place the pear in a bowl to catch any drop of pear juice that seeps out during steaming. Steam for about an hour or until the pear is completely soft.
