Description
Enjoy this simple and elegant fall dessert as is, or serve the pears with pound cake, ice cream, yogurt, or softly whipped cream. They're even delicious as part of a cheese course. Bosc and Bartlett pears have an especially pretty shape, but you can use any variety except Comice (they're too juicy) as long as they're firm-ripe. And you can opt to make the caramel cranberry sauce with red or white wine. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Jill Silverman Hough.

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Use a melon baller to make a hole in the bottom of each pear, then dig deeper to scoop out the core. Peel pears and cut a thin slice off the bottoms so they stand flat.
- Use the tip of a paring knife to split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, then run the back of the knife along each half to scrape out the vanilla seeds. Set the seeds and scraped pod aside.

Wonderful recipe. Well thought though.
After cooking, i took pears out quartered or smaller, taking the seeds out, and to make scooping onto ice cream easier.
I've never had Bourbon Vanilla Bean, which is the same as Vanilla Bean, orgasmic... makes vanilla extract look like a joke.
10/10 worth the effort.

I impressed my kids when I texted pics! Very easy, didn’t have vanilla bean but will get one and make again!
