To Bake Pears

Instructions

1. Wipe some large sound iron pears.
2. Arrange them on a dish with the stalk end upwards.
3. Put them into the oven after the bread is withdrawn, and let them remain all night.
4. If well baked they will be excellent, very sweet, and juicy, and much finer in flavour than those which are stewed or baked with sugar.
5. The bon chretien pear also is delicious baked thus.
