Ingredients
- 1Â Â Â medium pear, Bartlett, very ripe
- 1Â Â Â tablespoon honey
- 6Â Â Â shelled hazelnuts, peeled, coarsely chopped
- 2Â Â Â tablespoons uncooked old-fashioned oats
- 1Â Â Â teaspoon butter
- 4Â Â Â teaspoons unpacked brown sugar
- 2Â Â Â tablespoons pear nectar
Directions
Preheat grill. Peel, halve and core pear. Cut a small slice off the rounded side of each pear half so halves won’t wobble on grill. Set pear halves on the grill, flat side down; brush with honey. Grill 10 minutes on each side, brushing occasionally with honey.
While pears are grilling, make filling. In a small pan, stir together hazelnuts and oats over medium heat until lightly toasted. Stir in butter until it melts. Remove from heat; stir in sugar and nectar. When pears are hot and tender, spoon filling into centers and serve.
