Toffee Honey Pears

Toffee Honey Pears

This recipe was inspired by belindajeffery.com.au

Ingredients

 

3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp Happy Valley Rewarewa honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
3-4 ripe pears


    Method

     

    This is a quick and easy way to dress up pears.
    Heat a medium frying pan and add butter.
    Let it bubble up, when the fat bubbles start bursting on the surface, give it a stir.
    The mixture will eventually change color and go a toffee shade.
    It will smell slightly caramelized which is fine, but don't let it go too dark.
    Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
    Peel, core and slice 3-4 ripe pears depending on size, and slide them into the sauce to warm through gently.
    Serve with a good quality ice-cream.
    If you prefer make the sauce ahead of time then reheat and add the pears just before serving.
    Bananas work well instead of pears.

      Serves 4.
