Preheat a fan forced oven to 190°C.

Peel the pears, cut them in half lengthways and place them into a mixing bowl.

Add the brown sugar and butter to the pears and mix together well so that they are evenly coated.

Place the pears cut side down, onto a lined 30cm x 20cm shallow sided baking tray and evenly space out.

Place the tray into the oven to roast for 15 minutes, then turn the pears over and drizzle with Verjuice and cook for another 15 minutes.

Note: At this stage, the Verjuice should have evaporated by half, creating a buttery brown sugar and Verjuice syrup, and the pears should be soft and cooked through. If the pears have not softened completely, cover with foil and cook for a further 10 minutes, this will depend on the ripeness of the pears, to begin with

Remove pears from the oven and allow to sit for 15 minutes to cool slightly before serving with mascarpone and the Verjuice syrup from the baking tray.
