These are utterly fabulous. The flavor of the pears and maple blend together perfectly. I chose to leave the skins on, and the only change I made was to use light brown sugar because I realized too late that I was out of dark. Thanks for a great recipe, Dreamgoddess, and for encouraging me to eat my fruit!
