AMARETTO PEAR PARFAITS
Bosc pears work well in this dessert. I also love the flavor combination of amaretto and peaches, so peaches would probably also work well in this recipe. Based on a recipe I found in Cooking Light a couple years ago. The original used softened low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt, but I've only made it with the yogurt. The 1 hour cooking time is actually chilling time. With the low-fat frozen yogurt, Cooking Light showed the nutritional values per serving as: 238 calories, 5.6 grams fat, 39.9 g carbs, 137 mg sodium.

Steps:
- Melt the butter and sugar in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently until sugar begins to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Add the pears and rosemary, raise heat to high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pears are browned and caramelized all over, 3 to 5 minutes. (If pears begin to burn, reduce heat to medium.) Remove the pears, and spread out on a plate to cool.
- Place saute pan back on high heat, and add 1/4 cup water, stirring up the browned sugar and butter. Cook, stirring and swirling pan, until reduced to a thick syrup.
- Layer pears in four small glasses, alternating with the sour cream for two layers of each. Drizzle some of the syrup over each serving, sprinkle with crystal sugar, and serve.
Tips:
- To make the perfect pear parfait, start with ripe, juicy pears. This will ensure that your parfait has the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have any vanilla yogurt on hand, you can substitute plain yogurt and add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk when making the whipped cream.
- If you're using frozen pears, be sure to thaw them completely before using. Otherwise, they will be too hard to blend.
- You can also add other fruits to your parfait, such as berries, bananas, or peaches.
- For a special occasion, you can garnish your parfait with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or caramel.
Conclusion:
The pear parfait is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
