Instructions: Halve and core pears, but do not peel. Place in shallow baking dish. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup syrup. Combine pineapple with brown sugar and curry powder. Spoon into centers of pear halves. Bake at 375 F 20 minutes, or until tender, basting with reserved pineapple syrup. Serve as accompaniment to lamb chops, ham or pork.

Always be sure to use ripe pears.
