INGREDIENTS
- 1 can Pears ; halved
- 1 tablespoon Apricot jam or preserves
- 1 handful Brown sugar
- 1 dash Cinnamon ; ground
- Whipped cream or Vanilla Ice Cream
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a saucepan, heat the pears in their own juice.
- When pears are warm but not overcooked, remove from saucepan and set aside.
- Continue to reduce pear juice.
- add sugar, cinammon, apricot jam.
- Cook until syrupy.
- Place pear half in desert bowl.
- If using whipped cream, pour syrup over pear and top with Whipped Cream, if using Ice Cream, top the pear half with Ice cream and then pour syrup over ice cream.
In a pinch, improvise:
- Use fresh pears (peeled and cored) by cooking longer with a bit of added water
- Use fresh or canned apricots by cooking and straining
- If you don't have brown sugar, white will do, or if you don't have that, I bet maple syrup would be excellent
- If you don't have ground cinammon, cook with a cinammon stick
- If you don't have whipped cream or ice cream, cool whip will work.
- I'm sure this would work with apples too.
NOTES
Inspired by something I remotely remember seeing Jacques Pepin prepare once. No idea whether this recipe is similar to his or not. Quantities are approximate - rely on your taste and intuition to fine tune the recipe. I cook by taste, and rarely ever measure anything.
