🔥 Instructions

1. Preheat Grill:
   Heat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F / 175°C).
   Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Pears:

   • Cut pears in half lengthwise and remove the core using a spoon or melon baller.

   • Brush each pear half with lemon juice to keep color bright.

3. Make the Glaze:
   In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, and nutmeg until smooth.

4. Brush and Grill:

   • Brush the cut side of each pear with the glaze.

   • Place pears cut side down on the grill.

   • Grill for 4–5 minutes until grill marks form and sugar begins to caramelize.

5. Flip and Finish:

   • Turn pears cut side up, brush with more glaze, and grill another 3–4 minutes until soft and golden.

6. Serve Warm:

   • Transfer pears to plates, drizzle with remaining glaze or honey.

   • Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, nuts, or caramel sauce if desired.

💡 Tips for Perfect Grilled Pears

✅ Choose firm, ripe pears — too soft and they’ll fall apart.
✅ Use a basting brush to coat evenly with glaze.
✅ Try adding a dash of vanilla extract or a splash of rum to the glaze for depth.

✅ You can grill them in a cast-iron skillet if you prefer not to place them directly on grates
