2 Pears; ripe
One half teaspoon Ground cardamom
One fourth cup Water

Peel, halve and core the pears.

Preheat the oven to 400. Grease the bottom of a 9inch pie plate or shallow

sugar. Place the pears in the dish cut side down, and sprinkle on the
cardamom and the remaining 1 T brown sugar. Pour the water into the dish.
Bake 30 minutes, turning the pears twice.

Meanwhile, mix the sour cream with the remaining brown sugar and chill

drizzled over them. Top each serving with a few spoonfuls of the sweetened
sour cream.
