Pears come into season just as the weather gets cooler, so what better way to enjoy them than in this baked dessert.
Preparation Time

Ingredients (serves 4)
1 lemon, thinly sliced crossways
4 small pears
1 tbs caster sugar
1 whole vanilla bean, split lengthways, halved crossways
Double or whipped cream, to serve
Add above ingredients to your shopping list
Method
Preheat oven to 180ºC. Cut four 30cm squares of non-stick baking paper. Place one-quarter of the lemon in the centre of each piece of baking paper. Top each with 1 pear, standing upright. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar around the base of each pear. Add a piece of the vanilla bean.
Bring the edges of the paper together around the stem and secure with unwaxed kitchen string.
Place the parcels in a baking dish. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the pears are tender. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Open the parcels slightly. Drizzle the caramelised juices from the base over the pears. Serve in the paper with cream.
