After picking an abundant crop of pears, I was looking for new ways to enjoy them. A friend suggested warming them with butter and brown sugar. This tasty recipe was the result! We like them with vanilla bean ice cream, but plain vanilla or cinnamon are also quite delicious! -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

Tips:

Select ripe yet firm pears for caramelization. Unripe pears lack sweetness, while overly ripe pears tend to disintegrate during cooking.
Use a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet to caramelize the pears. This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the pears from burning.
Cook the pears over medium heat, stirring occasionally. This will allow the pears to caramelize slowly and evenly.
Add a little bit of butter or oil to the pan to help the pears caramelize. This will also prevent them from sticking.
Once the pears are caramelized, remove them from the pan and let them cool slightly. This will make them easier to handle.
To make the iced tea, simply brew a pot of your favorite black tea and let it cool completely. Once the tea is cold, add the caramelized pears and any desired sweetener.
Serve the iced tea over ice and garnish with a slice of pear or a sprig of mint.
