BLACK PEARS
 
6 fresh pears, hard but edible
juice of one fresh lemon
2 heaping T carob powder
2 T sugar or honey
1/4 t salt
1 c. heavy whipping cream

Cut the pears in half longitudinally, keeping the skin on.  Core,
then coat generously with the lemon juice.  Either allow the pears
to remain raw, or bake for 7 to 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven,
then cool.

Beat the carob, sugar, and salt until the mixture either peaks or
has the thick consistency of chocolate mousse.  Spoon or pipe the
carob cream into the hollows of the pear halves.  Chill at least
30 minutes before serving.
