Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
3 large Anjou or Bartlett pears, peeled, cored, quartered, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
8 ounces sour cream or creme fraiche
1 teaspoon light-brown crystal sugar, for garnish (optional)

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.

I'm definitely going to try this recipe again. I think it would be great with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

I'm not a big fan of pears, but I loved these parfaits. The sweetness of the pears was balanced out by the tartness of the yogurt.

These parfaits were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.
