CARAMELIZED PEARS
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

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
- Market Tip:
- Mexican limes, sold at Latin American markets and some supermarkets, are especially good in this recipe because they are sweeter and more fragrant than Persian limes (the more familiar variety). Mexican limes are also referred to as Key limes, which are available at Melissa's (melissas.com; 800-588-0151).
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears: Overripe pears will be too soft and mushy, while unripe pears will be too hard and tart.
- Use a variety of pears: Different varieties of pears have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your dish a more complex flavor profile.
- Slice the pears thinly: This will help them cook evenly and become crispy.
- Toss the pears in a mixture of sugar and spices: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Cook the pears over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning.
- Stir the pears occasionally: This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the pears until they are tender and slightly browned: This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve the pears warm or at room temperature: They can be served on their own or as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Crispy pears are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be served as a snack, a dessert, or a topping for other dishes.
