Description

THESE WARM AND CARAMELIZED PEARS are about to become your go-to fall dessert. We like them served over coconut non-dairy ice cream, and I always make extra to enjoy over steel cut oats in the morning. – Terry Walters


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe pears, Bosc or d’Anjou
  • 1 teaspoon virgin coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Zest and juice of 1 orange 1⁄4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400-degrees.
  2. Quarter pears by cutting from stem to base. Using a melon baller, scoop out and discard core. Melt coconut oil in cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place pears flesh- side down and sauté 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
  3. In small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, orange zest and orange juice. Add almonds and drizzle mixture evenly over pears.
  4. Transfer skillet to oven and bake 10 minutes or until pears are soft and caramelized. Remove from oven and serve.
