SAUTEED PEAR SALAD

This crispy, sweet salad is so quick and easy to make for a light summer dish. This salad would also be delicious using apples too. To add a bit more crunch, I also added a few toasted pecans. I found this recipe in a Good Housekeeping magazine.

Got this recipe from a "Desserts of Italy" class. This dessert couldn't be easier. The class thought it sounded wierd, pears and balsamic vinegar. However, it was great and made a wonderful dessert since it wasn't too sweet.

2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

Cut each pear into 8 wedges. Toss the pears and the lemon juice in a non-reactive medium bowl, and set aside.

Use a large skillet to sauté the pears. This will allow them to cook evenly and prevent them from crowding together.
Cook the pears over medium heat. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
Stir the pears frequently while they are cooking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
Add a little bit of sugar or honey to the pears while they are cooking. This will help them caramelize and add a touch of sweetness.
Serve the sautéed pears immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own, or they can be used as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or pancakes.
