Ingredients
- 4 Asian pears
- 8 teaspoons (just under 3 tablespoons), honey
- 4 dried Chinese dates, softened in cold water, slitted, and the pits
- removed
Directions
Wash the pears and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the top off the pears and set aside (these will become the lid). Remove the core. If desired, cut off a small slice at the bottom so that the pear will stand straight during steaming.
Spoon 2 teaspoons honey into each pear. Add 1 Chinese honey date. Place the top back on the pear.
Steam the pears for 30 minutes, or until the pears are tender. Serve warm.
