Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Halve and core the pears, trimming bottoms for stability and placing cut-side up in a baking dish.
  3. Dot the cut sides of each pear with butter.
  4. Roast the pears in the oven for about 20 minutes, until golden and fork-tender.
  5. While pears roast, combine cranberries and honey in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until cranberries burst and form a loose compote.
  6. Fill each pear cavity with goat cheese and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Top each pear with the warm cranberry compote.
  8. Drizzle with honey and optionally sprinkle cinnamon or top with mint leaves before serving.
