Put the pear slices in a small bowl and toss with the lemon juice.
step 2
Melt the butter in a small pan over a medium heat and cook for 6-8 mins or until brown and nutty. Add the honey, turn off the heat and vigorously whisk until the honey is melted and combined with the butter. Cover and keep warm.
step 3
