4 ripe pears.
1 ½ cups of water.
1 cup of hazelnuts, lightly toasted and peeled.
1 cup of sugar.
½ cup of maple syrup.
2 cinnamon sticks.
3 tablespoons of hazelnut liqueur.
3 tablespoons of melted butter.

Preparation Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the syrup by simmering sugar, maple syrup, water and cinnamon sticks for 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the hazelnut liqueur.

Add the hazelnuts and allow to soak for 4 minutes.

Strain off the liquid and pour it into an 8-inch square baking dish.

Roughly chop soaked hazelnuts and spread on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Toast in the oven for about 7 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, prepare the pears by peeling them, cutting in half and coring.

Pour the syrup over pears.

Roast the pears for 20 minutes or until they are soft when pierced with a tester.
