4 Anjou pears, peeled

1/4 cup each hot water and firmly packed brown sugar

2 Tbsp butter

1/4 tsp anise seed

Method/Steps

1. Set pears upright in a baking pan. Trim bottoms as needed to help them stand without toppling. Mix water, brown sugar, butter and anise seed. Pour mixture over and around pears.

2. Bake, uncovered, in a 375°F oven until pears are tender when pierced, about 30 minutes; baste occasionally with pan juices. Serve with pan juices.
