3. Preheat grill:
   Heat grill to medium (350–375°F / 175–190°C). Oil grates lightly to prevent sticking.

4. Grill pears:
   Place pears cut-side down. Grill 4–6 minutes until grill marks appear and sugars begin to caramelize. Flip and brush with more glaze.

Extra Tips for Perfect Grilled Pears

• Use firm-ripe pears: too soft will collapse, too firm will be chalky.

• Brush pears with oil if using less sugary glazes to prevent sticking.

• Cook over medium heat, not high—sugars burn easily.

• To enhance flavor, add a splash of bourbon, Grand Marnier, or spiced rum to any glaze.

• Pears pair well with: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, vanilla, caramel, thyme, rosemary, goat cheese.
