Pears Poached with Butter and Cream

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425F.

2. 2

   Put the butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat.

3. 3

   When the butter foam subsides, add the pears and sugar; cook, turning the pears occasionally and allowing them to brown a bit, until quite soft, 15 to 20 minutes (longer if the pears were not nearly ripe).

4. 4

   Add the cream and cinnamon and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens a bit, about a minute.

5. 5

   Put the skillet in the oven and cook until the mixture browns on top, 5 to 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve hot or at room temperature.
