1/4 cup lemon juice, (about 2 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
4 pears, peeled, halved and cored
4 gingersnaps, crushed

Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk together honey, lemon juice and ginger in a small bowl.
Place pears, cut-side up, in a shallow 1-quart baking dish. Pour the honey syrup over the pears and sprinkle with gingersnaps.

Serve warm or at room temperature, with the sauce spooned over the pears.
