CARAMEL PEARS
Try caramel pears instead of caramel apples this Halloween or fall! We used a shortcut to make our caramel sauce - simply microwave soft caramel candies with some half-and-half and get dipping! Pouring your caramel sauce into a wide mug and dipping your pears directly inside it also saves you the hassle of a messy cleanup afterwards.

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.

PAM'S RUSTIC CARAMEL PEAR TART
You can enjoy this pastry for breakfast or dessert. The puff pastry crust is a little crunchy. Cream cheese and pears are a divine duo and combine to make a tasty filling. Mixing cream cheese, sugar, and egg sort of forms a cheesecake-like filling once baked. We can't wait to make this again.

Steps:
- 1. Defrost the puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight or on the counter for 1 1/2 hr. Take out one sheet, unfold on a lightly floured or vegetable sprayed counter. Cut 1/2 - 3/4 inch strips from all four sides of the sheet. Moisten the edges of the large sheet and place the strips on the edges of the rectangle. These will puff up and form a thicker edge. Prick the main base all over with a fork to keep it from rising too much while baking. Transfer to a lightly oiled baking sheet and refrigerate for about 1 hour while making the filling.
- 2. Mix the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg with a hand mixer until smooth and well blended. Scrape the bowl a couple of times to make sure you have it all mixed. Set aside.
- 3. Peel, core and slice pears into about 1/4" slices. Sprinkle with lemon juice and set aside. Heat oven to 375 F with the rack in the middle of the oven.
- 4. Take the pastry out of the fridge and spread the cream cheese mixture over the inside of the rectangle, trying not to go over the edge strips. Lay the pear slices as close as possible together to cover most of the custard mixture, again,keeping them off the edge pastry strip.
- 5. Sprinkle the pears and pastry edges with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. (I sometimes use a little more straight cinnamon sprinkled on top) Bake at 375° F for 25 to 35 minutes or until the crust gets a nice golden brown and the pears are browned and tender.
- 6. Remove from the oven. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Microwave some of the caramel topping in a small bowl until semi-liquid. Drizzle the entire surface with a light coating of caramel. Then melt some of the white chocolate (about 3 to 4 oz) until spreadable, and either drizzle with a fork over the top, or place the warm chocolate in a small zipper bag, cut off a tiny tip of the bag and squeeze the chocolate over in a pretty pattern. Let cool or serve warm with ice cream if desired.
- 7. For the Variation: Spray an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Mix 3/4 cup each of crushed vanilla wafers and gingerbread cookies with 1/4 c sugar and 1/4 c melted butter. Place in prepared pan and press lightly. Using the same cream cheese custard mixture as above, spread the mixture over the crumb base. Chop pears into 3/4" chunks and distribute over the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle liberally with either cinnamon and sugar mixture, with sugar and freshly grated nutmeg, or with brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes or until the custard is set and the top is lightly brown. Remove from the oven and let cool. Refrigerate before serving. Again, you can drizzle the top with melted white chocolate or thin powdered sugar icing.
CREPES WITH ROSEMARY SEARED PEARS AND SPREADABLE SWISS CHEESE

Steps:
- Crepes: In a blender, add all of the ingredients and blend for 20 seconds. Refrigerate the crepe mixture for about 1 hour, but you can store the batter, refrigerated, for about 2 days.
- Coat a small nonstick pan with butter. Pour a small amount (but enough to thinly cover pan) of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread it evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Filling: Put a medium pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Melt butter with the sprig of rosemary. Allow the butter to infuse with the rosemary by letting it cook for about 2 minutes, removing from heat periodically to prevent browning. After the rosemary is fragrant, remove the sprig form the pan, and set aside. Put the pear, chopped rosemary, and brown sugar in the pan and saute for about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Spread the Swiss cheese generously on half of a crepe. Then pour some of the pear filling over the cheese. Fold the crepe in half, like a sandwich. Then fold again in quarters, to make a triangular shape. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling. Arrange the crepes on a platter, and garnish with the whole rosemary sprig. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Remove seeds from pear halves with a large melon baller, and trim off 1/4 inch from the bottom of each pear half so it will stand upright on a plate. Place the water in a 12-inch nonstick skillet and pour the sugar into the center of the pan, taking care not to let the crystals adhere to the sides of the pan. bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is bubbling wildly. Add the pears to the skillet, cut-side down, cover, reduce the heat to medium-high, and cook until the pears are nearly tender (a paring knife inserted into the center of the pears feels slight resistance).
- Uncover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the sauce is golden brown and the cut sides of the pears are partly caramilzed, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the heavy cream around the pears and cook, shaking the pan back and forth, until the sauce is a smooth, deep caramel color and the cut sides of the pears are beautifully golden 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Using tongs, carefully remove the pears from the pan and place cut-side up on a wire rack set over a trimmed baking sheet. Cool slightly. Season the sauce left in the pan with salt to taste and the crushed black pepper, then pour it into a liquid measuring cup.
- Carefully (the pears will still be hot) stand each pear half upright on an individual plate and arrange a wedge of the blue sheese beside it. Drizzle the plate and some of the pear with the caramel sauce. Serve immediately. (Alternatively, the pears can be stood upright on a large serving platter, and the warm caramel sauce and the blue cheese can be passed separately.).
- TECHNIQUE: Coring a Pear 1. Cut the fruit in half from stem to blossom end. Use a melon baller to cut around the central core with a circular motion. 2. Draw the melon baller from the central core to the top of the pear, removing the interior portion of the stem as you go.

CARAMELIZED PEARS WITH BLUE CHEESE AND CARAMEL SAUCE
I saw this recipe prepared on a PBS show (I'll include it when I can remember the name!!) and made it, changing only a couple of details to suit my guests' tastes. The original called for 1/4 tsp. of roughly crushed black peppercorns added to the sauce and to use Stilton cheese. I'm going to try it for myself again using the recipe as originally written, but I can't imagine it will be too much better than this was.
