5 ripe but firm bosc pears
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup water
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon butter
Method
Preheat oven to 375°F.

Over low heat, swirl until sugar dissolves.

Cover and simmer for 1 minute.

Gently swirl skillet if syrup is coloring unevenly.
Remove from heat and add remaining 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
