METHOD
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Cut pears in half lengthways and use a teaspoon or melon baller to scoop out the seeds. Remove the stalk at each end with a small sharp knife but leave the skins on.
Heat an oven-proof frypan that is large enough to hold all the pears in a single layer over medium heat. Add butter, honey, caster sugar and Vincotto or vanilla and stir until the sugar has dissolved. When the sauce comes to a simmer, lower the heat and add the thyme sprigs and the pears, cut side down, in a single layer. Simmer for 7-10 minutes until the pears start to colour.
Remove the pan from the heat. Gently turn the pears over. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes or until the pears are golden brown.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a little Vincotto and thyme sauce spooned over and some biscotti on the side.
