Extra tips:
Choose ripe but firm pears to prevent them from releasing too much water during baking.
You can replace the ricotta with mascarpone or Greek yogurt for a creamier touch.
Serve warm with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a wow effect.
Try different jams: apricot, mixed berries, or cherry completely change the flavor.
