Ingredients

ripe Green Anjou pears*
2
cups
apple cider
1
teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/2
teaspoon
ground ginger
1/4
teaspoon
ground nutmeg
1/4
teaspoon

Instructions
Peel pears, and slice in half lengthwise.
Leave the stems but remove the core.
In a large, shallow skillet, bring apple cider and spices just to boil over medium heat.
Add pears.
Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer pears until tender, about 20-25 minutes. I flip my pears over half way through.
Serve pears warm with cider spooned over the top.
