It will be 2 years this January that I finished my Ayurveda module at The Natural Epicurean Academy of Culinary Arts in Austin, Texas. My fabulous teacher Charlotte Jernigan guided our class through cooking for the 3 doshas with aplomb. This recipe for baked pears is one I make again and again though I have cut down on the oil from the original.  I use the same recipe for baked apples. Fuji are my favorite these days.My 21 month old granddaughter likes this recipe.

ingredients

• 3 pears
• 1 TBSP of sesame oil(not toasted)
• 1 tsp of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom
• 2 pinches of black pepper

instructions

1. Slice pears in half and place cut side up in a covered baking dish with 2 TBSP of water.
2. Combine oil and spices together. If possible use freshly ground cardamom and black pepper and freshly grated nutmeg.
3. Drizzle oil and spice mixture over fruit.
