Peel the pears with a vegetable peeler.
Cut them in half lengthwise, leaving the stems on two of the halves if possible, and remove cores with a small melon baller.
Place in an 8x8-inch baking pan, cut-side down.
Combine the lemon juice, apple juice, water, and brown sugar; pour over the pears.
Set the pan over medium heat and bring the juices to a boil.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
Bake for 40 minutes (basting after 15 minutes), or until the pears are tender when tested with a toothpick.
Chill the pears overnight in the refrigerator, covered with the cooking syrup.
Serve in four small dessert bowls to fit, cored-side up, with a small scoop of ice cream in the center of each.
