Meanwhile, combine the maple syrup, remaining oil and 1 tablespoon water in a small jug. Remove the pork from the oven and turn. Place the pear around the pork then pour the syrup mixture over the pear. Bake for 30 minutes or until juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into pork and the pear is tender. Loosely cover with foil and set aside for 15 minutes to rest before slicing the pork thinly.
