To make this delicious dessert, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 ripe pears, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the molasses and egg, then add it to the flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together.
In another bowl, toss the diced pears with cornstarch, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut it into 6-inch circles. Place a spoonful of the pear mixture in the center of each circle, then fold the dough over to create a pocket. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pocket closed.
Place the pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
