Here's a great pear dessert I learned to make last week, delicious and easy. I made it for my friends who bartered IT services. We had short ribs braised in red wine and parmesan polenta.
The dessert  evened things up!

Pre heat your oven to 400.   Slice the ripe pears in half and use a melon baller to scoop out  the core. Melt 2 pats of butter in a cast iron skillet. Put the pears in face down in a hot sizzling skillet.

Pour over the pears 1/4 c honey. I used truffle honey. Place in the oven for 15 minutes.

Take the skillet out and pour over 3 T aged basalmic vinegar. I used a aged one from Modena--very sweet. Cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from oven.  Place each pear on a plate with a small piece of blue cheese or stilton. Spoon the caramel sauce over the pears and cheese. Enjoy! We added a nice dessert wine which was the perfect ending to a nice evening.
