• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon)
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup large grain sugar

• 2 cut pears in half and scoop out centres. place pears on soaked planks. brush pears with butter. sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
• 3 place the planks and pears on the barbecue. use high heat directly under the planks. once the planks start to smoke you can turn the barbecue down a bit so the pears don't char. there should be lots of smoke in your backyard!
