Caramel Pears
Ingredients (6 portions):
6 large pears (Anjou), peeled and cut in halves 110 ml. light corn syrup 110 ml. brown sugar, lightly packed 1 tsp. vanilla 110 ml. heavy cream 110 ml. macadamia nuts, cut in halves 225 ml. whipped cream Method:
Preheat oven 375 F and butter a Paderno 28 cm Au Gratin dish. In a Paderno 2 litre saucepan, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar and vanilla, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat or until the sugar has melted. Arrange the pears cut side down over the bottom of the Au Gratin dish. Pour the syrup over them and bake, covered with tin foil, for 15 minutes. Remove the foil, then baste the fruit in the syrup and return to the oven to bake for another 15 minutes, making sure to baste twice more during this period of time. Remove from oven, then preheat the broiler. Place the Au Gratin on top of moderately high heat and cook for 5 minutes or until the syrup is quite thick. Add the heavy cream, bit by bit, while stirring constantly. Baste the pears with the caramel until it thickens again. Sprinkle the top of the pears with macadamia nuts, then place this dish back in the oven under the boiler for 5 minutes or until the tops of the pears have browned slightly. Remove from oven, and spoon some of the caramel over the top of the fruit and nuts, then serve immediately with whipped cream. Enjoy! |
