Grilled pears are an easy side dish at a barbecue or better yet, a delicious dessert when paired with ice cream, whipped cream or frozen yoghurt.

This easy and oh so tasty recipe of pears grilled on a Cedar or Alder gourmet grilling plank is sure to impress.

It gently cooks the fruit, and a light sprinkling of sugar and cinnamon gives the pears its perfect finish.

The gourmet grilling plank protects the fruit from the heat and adds a subtle wood and smoky flavour.

Preparation: 5 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Ready in: 50 minutes
Serves 4

Step 1:

Preheat a smoker or closed grill to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2:

Clean the pears then slice carefully downwards to create 6 even thickness slices.

Step 3:

Lay all the slices out then brush with the butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar. Flip the pears then repeat.

Step 4:

A cold or preheated plank may be used. Lay the pears out in a decorative fashion of your choice, such as in portion servings.

Place in the preheated barbecue for 35 minutes.

Serve warm with fresh cream, mascarpone, ice cream or frozen yoghurt and enjoy!
