Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the pears
Peel the pears, cut them in half, and remove the cores with a spoon or knife.
Step 2: Heat the butter and honey
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and stir in the honey until combined.
Step 3: Cook the pears
Place the pear halves in the skillet cut side down. Add the cinnamon stick and cook for 5-7 minutes, basting the pears with the buttery honey sauce.
Step 4: Flip and caramelize
Flip the pears, continue cooking for another 5 minutes, and ensure they are evenly coated in the sauce. They should turn golden and slightly softened.
Step 5: Serve warm
Place the pears on a serving plate, drizzle the sauce from the skillet over them, and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
