Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ripe but firm pears
1/2 lemon
6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Scotch whisky (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Peel the pears, cut them in half lengthwise and, using a melon baller, scoop out the cores.
  • Rub them all over with the lemon half to prevent browning.
  • In a large (10-inch), heavy-based, ovenproof skillet, melt the butter.
  • Add the sugar and brown sugar and stir to dissolve.
  • Arrange the pears in the pan, cut side down, in a single layer.
  • Bake the pears uncovered, basting occasionally with the liquid in the pan, until they begin to soften and color slightly.
  • Depending on the pears ripeness, baking time can range from 20 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remove the pears with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Transfer the pan to a burner and boil the mixture left behind over medium-high heat until it reaches a rich, golden-brown color and smells like caramel, 2 to 5 minute Slowly whisk the cream into the caramel until smooth.
  • Add the vanilla, salt, and Scotch, if using.
  • Serve the sauce over the warm pears.

I didn't have any pears, so I used apples instead. They turned out great!
