For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a handful of dried apricots or raisins to the tagine along with the pears. Serve this tagine with couscous or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. If you don't have a tagine pot, a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed casserole dish works perfectly well. Adjust the amount of honey to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your pears.
