Very nice dessert. Very light and all the flavors blend so well. I bet a scoop of vanilla icecream would top this off nicely as well. Darn did not have any. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry to have to rate this so low. I made these pears tonight, they, in my opinion, were very tasteless. The sugars seemed to have overpowered the pears. Not what I was looking for.

Unbelievably scrumptious!What more can I say? Good job, Goddess! (BTW, I couldn't find maple flavoring, so omitted it and never missed it--pure maple syrup was enough to provide a full maple flavor.)

These are utterly fabulous. The flavor of the pears and maple blend together perfectly. I chose to leave the skins on, and the only change I made was to use light brown sugar because I realized too late that I was out of dark. Thanks for a great recipe, Dreamgoddess, and for encouraging me to eat my fruit!
