Caramel pears without alcohol

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To prepare caramel pears for dessert, you will need pears of any variety - you just need to select the cooking time - I have hard pears, sugar, butter and a little water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut pears in half, and then into quarters - in fact, you can use any slicing, I analyzed a lot of recipes presented on the Internet: cut into halves, quarters and even slices - the smaller the slicing, the less time for dessert preparation. I chose the universal version with medium slicing. The main thing is not to finely chop soft juicy pears, otherwise you will get jam!

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the pears in a frying pan no matter how - you will still have to turn them over repeatedly.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add half a cup of water and cook the pears over medium heat, turning them from side to side periodically. I even held it under the lid a little - so that they boiled more evenly. It will take about 5-7 minutes to cook.

5. Step 5:

   

   When the pears will be pierced with a fork, but still remain elastic, add butter.

6. Step 6:

   

   Melt the butter by shaking the pan, the pears are lightly toasted - in fact, it is the sweet juice contained in them that is caramelized.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add, scattering evenly over the pan, a tablespoon topped with sugar.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put on the fire and let the sugar melt.

10. Step 9:

    

    When the sugar is completely melted, cook some pears in it, shaking the pan. and add a little of the remaining water - boiling water, I added directly from the boiling kettle. Now cook the pears in the resulting sugar syrup until tender.

11. Step 10:

    

    Drain the syrup at the end, and brown the pears a little more. Put the hot pears in creamers or serving plates.

12. Step 11:

    

    Serve caramelized pears with ice cream, pouring the resulting caramel syrup.
