Prepare the Honey-Spice Syrup: In a saucepan, combine honey, orange juice and zest, water, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves, salt, and butter. Heat over medium-high heat until aromatic and melted.
Bake the Pears: Arrange pear halves in a dish, pour hot syrup over, cover with foil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 25–30 minutes until tender and glossy.
Cook the Oatmeal: Combine milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stir in oats, and cook 5–7 minutes until thick and creamy.
Assemble and Serve: Divide oatmeal into bowls, top each with baked pears, drizzle with syrup, sprinkle pistachios, and add a splash of cream.
