This roasted pear dessert is a golden, glossy delight that could not be easier to make. All major varieties of pears work equally well. However, Bosc pears roast up slightly firmer than the others.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 4 pears, halved and cored
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup coarsely chopped toasted pistachios (or your favorite nuts)
Directions
Step 1
Adjust the oven rack to the center position and heat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place butter in a baking pan large enough to hold pears in a single layer; set in the heating oven until it melts.
Step 2
Sprinkle sugar over melted butter, then place pears, cut-side down, on top. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Remove pan from oven, turn pears over and baste with pan sauce. Return to oven; bake until golden and glossy, about 10 minutes longer.
Step 4
Let cool briefly. Transfer pears to dessert plates or bowls. Top each with a dollop of sour cream, drizzle with caramel pan sauce, sprinkle with nuts, and serve.
