Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice bottom of each pear so they sit straight up on flat surface. Transfer pears to prepared baking dish. In large bowl, combine remaining ingredients; mix well to combine. Pour over pears and transfer to oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until pears are tender. Remove from oven; set aside for ten minutes before serving. Serve warm. Recipe courtesy of Amie Valpone at thehealthyapple
