I like to prepare this delicious Oven-Baked Pear & Rhubarb with Verjus in Stoneware Ramekins, and bring these pretty clay pots to the table with the lids on.
It would be perfectly fine to make this dessert in large cups or mugs that will hold 2 1/2 cups.
The dessert is best served warm and I like to leave a 3/4 inch space at the top, so each diner can add a nice dollop of whipped cream to the top, at the table.
How to Oven-Bake Pear & Rhubarb with Verjus in Stoneware Ramekins:
- Note: Because rhubarb varies as to how tart it is, it’s best to double-check the rhubarb for sweetness, and adjust the quantity of sugar added.

Ingredients:
- 1 large pear – washed, peeled, seeded & halved
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1-3/4 cups sugar
- 1 tbsp Verjus – I used Niagara Cuisine Verjus.
- 2 cups rhubarb – fresh or frozen, washed & cut into 1/4 – 1/2 inch segments
- 3 tbsp strawberry jam – We used strawberry freezer jam.
- 3 cups water
- 1/4 tsp cardamom
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp flour
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small, narrow sauce pan, add 1 cup of sugar to 3 cups of water. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil and submerge the two pear halves, continuing to poach the pears until they are somewhat softened, but still remain intact. Remove saucepan from heat and set aside. * Note: Do not overcook.
- In a mixing bowl, to the rhubarb, add 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup of poaching syrup, Verjus, cornstarch, flour, cardamom, cayenne pepper and strawberry jam, and stir through to combine thoroughly. * Tip: This would be a good time to check the rhubarb mixture for sweetness.
- Using some of the butter, thoroughly coat the inside of the clay pots and lids.
- Pour rhubarb mixture into each of the clay pots, filling to about half way.
- Add one pear half to each clay pot.
- Add enough of the prepared rhubarb to fill the clay pots up to 3/4 inch from the top.
- Add half of the remaining butter to the ingredients in each of the two pots. Cover pots with their lids.
- Place pots on a baking sheet and place into 350 degree F oven for up to 25 min, or until rhubarb is soft and pear halves are knife tender. Check the fruits for doneness at the 15 min mark.
- Remove pots from oven and allow to stand until they have cooled down to warm.
- Serve warm with whipped cream available for each diner to add a dollop or as much or little as they desire.
The little clay pots are fun to have at the table. Do try this recipe for an unusual taste experience – just the thing to finish off a great meal.
