Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large ripe pears, about 2 pounds (preferably Bosc pears or Anjou pears)
1/2-1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 cups apple juice or 2 cups fruit nectar
2 tablespoons brandy or 2 tablespoons dark rum
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Peel and core the pears and cut into eighths; set aside.
  • In a medium-size saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon or allspice. Stir in the juice or fruit nectar and mix well. Place the pan on medium-high heat and cook the sauce, stirring, until the mixture is smooth. Add the pears and bring the sauce to a gentle boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 15 - 20 minutes or until the pears are just tender, almost translucent, and the syrup is thick. Stir in the rum and butter and heat a few minutes longer.
