  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries, thawed and drained

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In an ovenproof skillet, combine butter, sugar, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Add pears, cut side down; cover with foil. Bake, turning pears over halfway through, until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 25 minutes.

    Where is the recipe for the Herbed Biscuits that Sarah Carey demonstrated onthe show? There are several on the recipe database and I don't know which one is the one demonstrated since I didn't record the show.
