Caramelized Pear

Intro

This dessert is incredibly easy to make for how posh it looks. It goes great with some vanilla ice cream. Optionally, try with brown sugar for a stronger finish.

Directions

1. Slice the pear to create nice thick, flat slices. Optionally, season with cardamom and/or nutmeg for a nice spiced flavor.
2. Melt butter in a hot pan, and add the pear. Cook on both sides for 1-2 minutes, then add sugar and a splash of water.
3. Stir until a simple syrup forms, then cook the pear on both sides for several minutes each until a caramelization forms.
