Gingerbread Pear Upside-Down Skillet Cake

Melt Butter (4 Tbsp) in a 12-inch cast iron skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat. When butter has fully melted, turn skillet to coat the sides up to the rim. Sprinkle Brown Sugar (1/2 cup) over the surface and wait 3-4 minutes, until sugar has partially melted.

Arrange D'anjou Pears (4) on top in a pattern of your choice. Turn heat to low.

In a medium bowl, combine Molasses (3/4 cup) and Water (1 cup) that has been brought to a boil, stirring until well blended. Add Canola Oil (1/2 cup) , Fresh Ginger (1 Tbsp) and zest from Lemon (1/8) .

In a separate bowl, combine All-Purpose Flour (2 1/2 cups) , Baking Soda (1 tsp) , Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1/2 tsp) , Ground Cloves (1/2 tsp) and Salt (1/4 tsp) and mix well. Working in two batches, mix dry ingredients into the molasses mixture. Stir until fully combined, then slowly pour the batter over the arranged pears in the cast iron skillet, taking care not to disrupt the pattern.
