CARAMELIZED PEARS



Caramelized Pears image

After picking an abundant crop of pears, I was looking for new ways to enjoy them. A friend suggested warming them with butter and brown sugar. This tasty recipe was the result! We like them with vanilla bean ice cream, but plain vanilla or cinnamon are also quite delicious! -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

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 GLAZED PEARS



Caramel Glazed Pears image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups fruity white wine, like Riesling (about 1 1/2 bottles)
1 vanilla bean
2 strips lemon rind
4 Bosc pears
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
About 1 cup creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Combine the wine, vanilla bean and lemon rind in a large saucepan. Peel the pears carefully with a vegetable peeler and pull out the blossom end with the tip of the peeler so the pears will be able to stand up. Leave the stem attached. As you peel the pears, drop them in the wine.
  • Bring the wine to simmer and cook the pears until they are tender but not mushy, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the pears from the syrup and set them aside. Boil poaching liquid to a fourth of a cup.
  • Stand the pears up on a baking sheet. Fill a shallow pan with cold water for cooling the caramel and set aside.
  • Heat the sugar and one cup of water in a small saucepan without stirring until it turns a deep honey color. Remove the saucepan from the heat and dip the bottom in the pan of cold water to stop the caramel from coloring any further. Pour the hot caramel over each pear, covering it completely. If the caramel hardens while you are working, reheat it.
  • Place a spoonful of poaching liquid on each of four plates. Top with a pear and garnish with a dollop of creme fraiche.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe but firm pears for poaching. This will help them hold their shape while cooking.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot for poaching the pears. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the pears from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice to the poaching liquid. This will help to keep the pears from turning brown.
  • Poach the pears until they are tender but still hold their shape. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of a pear. If it goes in easily, the pear is done.
  • While the pears are poaching, make the caramel glaze. This can be done in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the sugar and water constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns a deep amber color.
  • Once the pears are poached, remove them from the poaching liquid and let them cool slightly.
  • Dip the pears in the caramel glaze and then roll them in chopped nuts or seeds.
  • Serve the pears warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Caramel glazed pears are a delicious and elegant dessert that can be enjoyed on any occasion. They are perfect for a special dinner party or a simple weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
