10 cups sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

In a large resealable plastic bag, add the pears and pear nectar. Seal the bag, and marinate for 1 hour. Remove the pears from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Grill the pears for 5 minutes per side.
Put the melted butter in a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine the biscuit mix, sugar, and half-and-half. Pour the batter into baking dish over the butter. Arrange the pears on top. Do not stir the pears. Pour the reserved marinade over the top of the pears. Bake until lightly browned, about 45 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and serve warm with ice cream and Pear Topping, if desired.
Pear Topping:
In a medium skillet, over low heat, add the butter and sugar. Stir to combine, then add the pears and honey. Saute quickly until warm. Serve over the cobbler.
Pear Honey:
Mix all ingredients in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the pears are tender and the mixture thickens, approximately 30 minutes. Pour into sterilized jars and seal while hot.

I love Miss Paula. And, my husband and I were invited to a cook out and I offered to bring a dessert! What a better way than a "grilled" dessert for a cook out! So, I headed to Paula Deen for help! And, I found the Grilled Pear Cobbler! I told our host that I'd bring a healthy dessert, and to me this one at least has fruit!
So, it's heathy enough for me! haha! Looks fantastic...cannot wait to taste it!
