- Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, produce, and utensils.

- Cut the pears in half lengthwise, and remove cores with a spoon. Place in an 8x8-inch baking dish, cut-sides down.
- Pour apple juice and water over pears, and drizzle with honey. Cover pan loosely with foil and bake about 35 minutes or until tender.
