I need some ideas for a Pear dessert

Famzav8

I have ten pounds of pears to do something with! I cooked up a bunch with cinnamon & vanilla and pureed it for baby food, and we set aside some for lunches. But I want to take some and make a yummy dessert. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well, I have always chopped them and tossed them in Vanilla yogurt frozen or not.


You could do a puff pastry with the pears on top?

Caramelize them?

core them (whole, unpeeled) and fill the hole with raisins and nuts, bake them with cinnamon til they're tender... YUM

Pears poached in wine

4 pears
½ cup sugar
1 cup water
2 cups pinot gris wine (any white or even rose will work)
1 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
1 lemon, zested

1. Bring all ingredients except pears to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

2. Peel pears and cut out the base and keep to one side. Core the pear with a paring knife.

3. Add pears and bases to the poaching liquid and gently simmer for 1 hour turning occasionally to ensure even colour. Let cool in the liquid which can be refrigerated and re-used.

Serve with some lovely yoghurt, or creme fresh (you can put a bit of honey through the yoghurt if you wish)

Pear crumble.

Just cut up the pears and then put a crumble topping on the top.
