Ingredients
- 1 litre rice milk (I used Vitasoy Ricemilk Original)
- 4 firm pears (I used Packham pears), cut into quarters (I also like to cut out the cores and seeds for easier eating)
- 3 thick strips lemon rind
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Method
- Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
- Place pears, rice milk and lemon strips in a small baking dish.
- Sprinkle pears with cinnamon and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the pears are just tender and the sauce has reduced to a light and creamy consistency. Turn the pears once or twice during cooking so they are well coated in the syrup.
- Stir in the lemon juice just before serving. (Note that the sauce will thicken if left to stand for a while before serving.)
Notes
This recipe was adapted from one which came on the side of a pack of Vitasoy Ricemilk Original which I bought and which was also available on the Vitasoy website. I found the taste a little unusual at first - it is quite different to the chocolate-y desserts I have always eaten up until now - but after the first mouthful or two the sweet, lemon-y goodness was pretty addictive and I couldn't help going back for seconds!
