Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 6 pears
- 1 ½ cups Amaretto
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- Optional: whipped cream or mascarpone (to serve)
Instruction
- Peel the pears and gently remove the core from the bottom with a paring knife or a small spoon.
- Bring the Amaretto and brown sugar to a boil in a pot just big enough to fit the pears. Add the pears, lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn pears every few minutes to ensure all sides of the pears absorb some of the Amaretto flavor. Remove pears and set them aside.
- Increase the heat to high and boil the amaretto, uncovered, until it is reduced to ½ cup.
- To serve, stand a pear in the middle of a plate. Drizzle with reduced Amaretto sauce over the top and add a dollop of whipped cream or mascarpone cheese beside the pear.
