Honey-Grilled Pears with Ginger Mascarpone Cream

I think grilling has replaced roasting as my favourite method of cooking fruit for dessert….it creates that beautiful caramelized sugar surface, adds an intriguing smoky flavour and allows the fruit to retain its integrity.

In this recipe, halved, unpeeled pears (I used ripe but firm Bartlett) are marinated in a honey-butter-lemon juice mixture before grilling and are served warm with ginger-laced, sweetened mascarpone cream.

Simple and delicious.
