ROASTED PEARS WITH SALT AND PEPPER CARAMEL SAUCE
Steps:
- For the pears: Peel the pears if desired. Cut the pears in half and scoop out the cores. Cut each half in half again.
- Arrange the pear pieces cut-side down in a large saute pan. Dot the butter all around the pears and place the pan over medium heat. Cook, occasionally swirling the pan but not stirring, until the pears are lightly browned and the butter begins to sizzle, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon and fennel seeds over the pears, then gently stir and baste the pears with the butter and spices. Continue to cook just until the pears are tender, then add the vanilla and gently stir to incorporate. Keep the pears warm until ready to serve.
- For the caramel sauce: Stir together the granulated sugar, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat, swirling the mixture occasionally (do not stir). If you notice crystals forming around the edge of the pan, wipe the inside of the pot with a pastry brush moistened with water.
- Cook the sugar mixture at a simmer until it has turned deep brown and registers between 330 and 350 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter, salt and pepper until completely incorporated. Carefully add the heavy cream. Reserve warm, or refrigerate until ready to serve. (Keeps up to 4 weeks, refrigerated in an airtight container.)
- For the whipped creme fraiche: In a clean bowl, beat together the heavy cream, creme fraiche, confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract with an electric mixer or by hand until stiff peaks form. Reserve chilled until ready to serve.
- Arrange the pears on a platter. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce, then top with a couple dollops of the whipped creme fraiche. Serve with additional caramel sauce and whipped creme fraiche on the side.
BAKED PEARS WITH CARAMEL SAUCE
Harvest time grows nearer and this is the perfect recipe for using up those pears that are ripening on the trees. This is NOT a low fat dessert but can certainly be made lighter by using less sugar and fat free sour cream.

Steps:
- 1. 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. ( Alternately, you may peel and core whole pears.) 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.
- 2. Top each pear with a generous spoonful of sour cream, caramel sauce from the pan and toasted pecans.

Steps:
- Using melon baller and starting from bottom, core each pear. Cut thin slice off bottom of each pear to make level.
- Stir sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil until syrup is deep amber color, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat; whisk in butter, then 2 tablespoons water.
- Stand pears in caramel sauce in saucepan. Sprinkle cinnamon over. Cover and cook over low heat 10 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with ras-el-hanout. Cover and continue to cook until pears are tender, occasionally spooning caramel sauce over pears and shaking pan so pears don't stick, about 15 minutes. Arrange orange slices around pears; spoon caramel sauce over. Cover and simmer until orange slices soften, about 5 minutes.
- Place orange slices on plates. Stand pears atop orange slices. Spoon caramel sauce over and sprinkle with almonds. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- For the pretzel crust: In a food processor, pulse the pretzels, sugar and butter together until nearly as fine as graham cracker crumbs.
- Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment and press the pretzel crumbs into the base.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.
- Once cooled, scatter the caramel pieces over the top and set aside
- For the flourless chocolate cake: Adjust the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler over medium heat.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on medium-high speed until they reach medium peaks.
- Add the sugar and whip to stiff peaks. Add the egg yolks and whip for two minutes.
- Fold in the chocolate mixture in three stages, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Pour the batter into the pretzel crust, and bake for 15 minutes. When done, the center should feel slightly bouncy, but an inserted cake tester should come out like a moist brownie batter.
- Allow the cake to cool overnight before unmolding.
- For the spice blend: In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, ginger and star anise until well blended. Set aside.
- For the sauteed pears: In a saute pan over medium heat, saute the pears until slightly translucent.
- Add the sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of the spice blend, and cook until the pears are tender and their juices slightly thickened. Allow to cool before use.
- For the salted caramel sauce: In a large pot, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup and salt. Cook until the mixture acquires a nice amber color, indicating it has reached the caramel stage (325 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove from the heat.
- Gently heat the cream in the microwave, then add it slowly to the caramel (be very careful¿the mixture will bubble up!).
- Once all cream is added, stir in the butter. Taste and season with more salt if necessary. Let cool.
- To finish: Top the cake with sauteed pears and pour caramel over. Chill until the caramel sets.
- Serve with brandy-flavored sweetened whipped cream.
ROASTED PEARS WITH CARAMEL SAUCE
This golden, glossy delight could not be easier to make. All major varieties of pears - Bartlett, Bosc, red, Anjou - work equally well. However, Bosc roasts up slightly firmer than the others.
