CARAMEL PEARS



Caramel Pears image

Try caramel pears instead of caramel apples this Halloween or fall! We used a shortcut to make our caramel sauce - simply microwave soft caramel candies with some half-and-half and get dipping! Pouring your caramel sauce into a wide mug and dipping your pears directly inside it also saves you the hassle of a messy cleanup afterwards.

CARAMEL PEAR PUDDING CAKE

This is the most delicious dessert, and easy to put together, a great ending to any meal. This can also be made with apples, but use a firm apple such as Granny Smith for this recipe. I usually stick this in the oven, and bake it as we are having dinner, and serve it with ice cream as a topping...so yummy!

Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Bread Pudding Recipes

Time 1h22m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup water, or as needed
¼ cup white sugar
½ small pear, diced
2 teaspoons chopped walnuts
1 pinch ground ginger
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch dried lemon peel
½ cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon spiced rum
½ teaspoon dried lemon peel
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup cubed fresh bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine water and 1/4 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until dissolved and light brown in color, about 6 minutes. Pour into the bottoms of 2 custard cups; rotate cups to spread caramel across the bottoms.
  • Arrange pear pieces over the caramel; top with walnuts. Sprinkle ginger, 1 pinch nutmeg, black pepper, cinnamon, and 1 pinch lemon peel on top.
  • Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk egg, 2 tablespoons sugar, rum, 1/2 teaspoon lemon peel, and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg in a bowl until well beaten. Stir in the milk mixture slowly; mix well. Stir in bread cubes; let soak for 5 minutes. Divide mixture between the prepared cups. Place cups in a baking pan; add hot tap water to come halfway up the sides of the cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool until safe to handle, about 20 minutes.
  • Run a sharp knife around the inside edge of the cooled puddings and invert onto small dessert plates.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pears: Using ripe pears will ensure that your pudding has a sweet and juicy flavor. Look for pears that are slightly soft to the touch and have a yellow or golden color.
  • Use a good quality caramel sauce: The caramel sauce is a key component of this pudding, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can either make your own caramel sauce or purchase a high-quality store-bought brand.
  • Don't overcook the pears: The pears should be cooked until they are just tender, but not mushy. Overcooked pears will lose their shape and flavor.
  • Serve the pudding warm or cold: This pudding can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference. If you serve it warm, the caramel sauce will be melted and gooey. If you serve it cold, the caramel sauce will be more firm.

Conclusion:

Caramel and pear pudding is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and juicy pears, rich caramel sauce, and creamy custard base, this pudding is sure to be a hit.
