Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

6 small, slightly under-ripe pears, such as Bartlett, unpeeled, halved and cored
2 star anise pods
1 (2-inch) piece cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 whole cloves
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in small cubes
2 tablespoons mild honey
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves, from a small sprig
1/2 cup roughly chopped walnuts

Steps:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Choose a baking dish or roasting pan large enough to hold pears in one layer, or use 2 pans. Scatter star anise, cinnamon stick, fennel seeds and cloves on bottom of dish.
Put pears in a large mixing bowl. Add brown sugar, raisins, rum and lemon juice. Coat pears evenly with mixture. Transfer to baking dish, cut-side down, in one layer. Dot with butter.
Bake, uncovered, until pears are soft and well caramelized, about 45 minutes. Remove pears from oven, and let them sit at room temperature. Shortly before serving, drizzle the pears with honey, and sprinkle them with rosemary leaves and chopped walnuts. Bake for 10 minutes. Serve warm with plenty of sauce from the baking pan.

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.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
4 pears, halved and cored
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup coarsely chopped toasted pistachios (or your favorite nuts)

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.

Tips:

Choose ripe but firm pears: This will ensure that they hold their shape during cooking.
Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help to prevent the caramel from burning.
Cook the pears slowly: This will allow the flavors to develop and the pears to soften.
Don't crowd the pears in the pan: This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Add the honey and rosemary towards the end of cooking: This will prevent the honey from burning and the rosemary from becoming bitter.
Serve the pears warm or at room temperature: They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dollop of yogurt or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Caramel pears with rosemary, honey, and walnuts is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The pears are soft and flavorful, and the caramel sauce is rich and decadent. The rosemary and walnuts add a touch of sophistication and make this dish truly special. Whether you are serving it to guests or enjoying it on your own, this dessert is sure to be a hit.
