Ingredients

1/2 cup packed brown sugar $
2 tablespoons butter, softened $
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled Stilton cheese
1/4 cup dried cranberries $
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
8 peeled Bartlett pears (about 3 3/4 pounds) $
1/4 cup apple juice $
1 tablespoon port

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°.
Combine sugar and butter in a small bowl, and stir until well blended. Add cheese, cranberries, and pecans; stir well.
Cut 1 inch off stem end of each pear; reserve top. Remove core from stem end, and scoop out about 2 tablespoons pulp from each pear half to form a cup, using a melon baller or spoon. If necessary, cut about 1/4 inch from base of pears so they will sit flat. Place the pears in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Fill each pear with about 2 tablespoons sugar mixture, and replace top on each.
Combine juice and port in a small bowl; pour into baking dish. Bake pears at 375° for 30 minutes or until tender. Serve warm.

It helps to have a corer tool...don't cut all the way through to make the *hollow* b/c all the good stuff will leak out.
