BUTTER PEARS WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- For the pears Peel the skin off the pears, cut in half and remove stem and core. In a large sauce pan add sugar and water; bring up to boil to dissolve sugar. Add vanilla, Grand Marnier, butter and pears. Turn down to the lowest level and maintain barely a simmer. Simmer for a minimum of 3 hours or until the pears appear semi-translucent and easily give under touch. - Make sure the pot doesn't boil dry! - The pears will reduce in size as they cook as well, that is the reason for the large pears For the sauce Nothing special here, you can use whatever raspberry sauce recipe you want. This is the one I used. In a blender or food processor, purée the raspberries, granulated sugar and the lemon juice. Taste the sauce for sweetness and adjust the sugar or lemon juice as needed. Strain to remove seeds and refrigerate The raspberry sauce works very will here due to the tart of the berries going with the sweet of the pears. The sauce can be warmed slightly in a small sauce pan.
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears: Pears that are too ripe will be mushy and difficult to work with. Look for pears that have a slight give when you press them gently.
- Peel the pears carefully: Use a sharp knife to peel the pears, taking care not to remove too much of the flesh.
- Use a good quality butter: The better the butter, the better the pears will taste. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pears, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the pears until they are tender: The pears should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Make the raspberry sauce ahead of time: The raspberry sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to serve the pears.
Conclusion:
Butter Pears with Raspberry Sauce is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The sweet, tender pears are perfectly complemented by the tart and tangy raspberry sauce. This dish is perfect for any occasion, from a casual weeknight dinner to a special holiday meal.
