- a small cup of water in the bottom to prevent burning
- nutmeg
Directions
1
Peel ripe pears and cut them in half, without removing- the seeds. Pack in layers in a stone jar ; strew each layer with sugar and drop a pinch of nutmeg in now and then. Put a small cup of water in the bottom to prevent burning. Fit on a cover and set in a moderate oven. Bake three hours, and leave unopened in the oven all night. Set upon ice for some hours before you use them. Pour into a glass dish and eat with cream. This is a delicious dish, if the pears are of fair quality.
