Caramel Glazed Pears Recipes

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Place butter in a baking pan large enough to hold the pears in a single layer: set in the heating oven until it melts.
• Sprinkle sugar over melted butter, then place pears, cut side down, on top. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven, turn pears over and baste with pan sauce. Return to oven; bake until golden and glossy, about 10 minutes longer.
• Let cool slightly. Transfer pears to dessert plates or bowls. Top each with dollop of sour cream, drizzle with caramel pan sauce, sprinkle with nuts and serve.

Steps:

• Microwave 10 ounces unwrapped soft caramels with 1 tablespoon half-and-half, stirring every 20 seconds, until smooth. Pour into a wide mug, then quickly dip 4 pears in the caramel, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and let set on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening; lightly flour. In medium bowl, gently toss pears and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar; let stand 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. In large bowl, beat eggs, 2 cups of the granulated sugar, the oil and 2 teaspoons of the vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Gradually add flour mixture, beating on low speed until blended. Fold in pears and pecans. Pour batter into pan.
• Bake 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack.
• In 1-quart heavy saucepan, heat butter, brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the whipping cream to boiling over high heat, stirring constantly; boil 1 minute without stirring. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cool until slightly thickened. Drizzle glaze over warm cake. Let stand until set.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine brown sugar, butter and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally, 4-5 minutes. Add pears; cook and stir until pears are tender, 5-10 minutes longer. Serve over ice cream if desired.

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.
