Drop prepared pears in lemon water. Pat pears dry on paper towels. Place a piece of crystallized ginger into "well" of each pear half. Arrange pears, cut-sides down, in greased dish. Put butter, brown sugar and pineapple juice into a saucepan and heat gently to dissolve sugar. Add whipping cream and boil 5 minutes. Pour sauce over pears.
