Ingredients

Flavor Base

  • ½ cup honey
  • Juice and zest of 1 orange
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 whole star anise
  • 8 whole cloves
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter

Fresh Ingredients

  • 4 firm, ripe pears, peeled, halved, and cored
  • ½ cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

For the Oatmeal

  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 5 tablespoons brown sugar (or adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

For Serving

  • Heavy cream or half-and-half, for pouring

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey-Spice Syrup In a small saucepan, combine honey, orange juice and zest, water, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves, salt, and butter. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the butter melts and the mixture begins to bubble. Once fragrant and fully blended, remove from the heat and set aside.
  2. Bake the Pears Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the halved pears in a baking dish, cut side up. Trim the bottoms slightly if needed so they sit flat. Pour the hot honey-spice syrup evenly over the pears. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 25–30 minutes, until the pears are soft and the syrup has thickened into a glossy glaze. Discard the cinnamon sticks, star anise, and cloves. Set the pears aside to cool slightly.
  3. Cook the Oatmeal In a medium saucepan, combine milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the oats and stir frequently for 5–7 minutes, until the oatmeal is thick and creamy. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute before serving.
  4. Assemble and Serve Divide the oatmeal into four bowls. Top each serving with two pear halves and drizzle with the spiced honey syrup from the baking dish. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and add a splash of cream or half-and-half. Serve warm and enjoy the perfect balance of sweetness, spice, and crunch.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness of the oatmeal by varying the amount of brown sugar added.
  • Feel free to customize this recipe by adding your favorite nuts or fruits for extra flavor and texture.
