Baked Pears with Lemon Sauce

ingredients:

4 pears (medium-sized), peeled 

3 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp honey 

2 whole cloves 

2 tsp cornstarch (for Lemon Sauce) 

3/4 cup skim milk, divided (for Lemon Sauce) 

1 cinnamon stick (for Lemon Sauce) 

1/2 tsp grated lemon rind (for Lemon Sauce) 

3 Tbsp lemon juice (for Lemon Sauce) 

1 Tbsp honey (for Lemon Sauce)

methods:
Cut pears in half lengthwise and remove cores. Arrange pears, cut side up, in a glass baking dish. Combine water, honey and cloves and pour over pears.

Cover and bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm pears with 1/4cup chilled lemon sauce.
To make sauce combine cornstarch and 1/4-cup milk in a small saucepan, stirring until blended. Add remaining 1/2-cup milk and cinnamon.

Simmer over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened. Reduce heat and stir in remaining ingredients until well blended. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Cover and refrigerate 3 hours or until thoroughly chilled. Remove cinnamon stick before serving.
