Oven baked pears with slightly sweet/spiced pink syrup and whole cranberries. I found this recipe years ago in a news paper and clipped it out. Took me a while to make it, but once I did, I knew it was a keeper. I then washed the jeans I was wearing when cooking and melted the news paper. I did a search on the net, but could not find it there. So I had to quickly write down the recipe before I forgot it. So hear it is for me to always have. Hope you enjoy it as well.

4 firm ripe pears, peeled and split in half
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
