Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
3 large Anjou or Bartlett pears, peeled, cored, quartered, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
8 ounces sour cream or creme fraiche
1 teaspoon light-brown crystal sugar, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and sugar in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently until sugar begins to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Add the pears and rosemary, raise heat to high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pears are browned and caramelized all over, 3 to 5 minutes. (If pears begin to burn, reduce heat to medium.) Remove the pears, and spread out on a plate to cool.
  • Place saute pan back on high heat, and add 1/4 cup water, stirring up the browned sugar and butter. Cook, stirring and swirling pan, until reduced to a thick syrup.
  • Layer pears in four small glasses, alternating with the sour cream for two layers of each. Drizzle some of the syrup over each serving, sprinkle with crystal sugar, and serve.

- Choose ripe but firm pears. Avoid pears that are too soft or bruised. - Use a variety of pears for a more complex flavor. - Peel and core the pears before cooking them. This will help to remove any unwanted bitterness. - Cook the pears in a simple syrup until they are soft and tender. This will help to concentrate their flavor. - Chill the pears and the whipped cream before assembling the parfaits. This will help to keep them cold and firm. - Layer the parfaits in individual glasses or jars. Start with a layer of pears, then a layer of whipped cream, and then repeat. - Top the parfaits with a drizzle of caramel sauce or honey, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts or granola.
