About Us

Simple yet elegant baked pears drizzled with maple syrup and spiced with cinnamon, sugar, ginger and nutmeg. Serve them with an easy vanilla whipped mascarpone and crumbled walnuts for a tasty dessert.

This simple dessert requires few ingredients and hits all the comforting flavours needed for something good. Baked pears become deliciously sweet and are dusted in just the right amount of spices to taste warm and cozy. The whipped mascarpone melts from the warm pears just like ice cream on an apple crisp.

Any pear that is not overly ripe can work for this dessert. Choose pears that are blemish free and yield slightly to pressure but are still firm for the best appearance.
