Stove Top Roasted Pears With Dulce De Leche Recipes

HOMEMADE DULCE DE LECHE

Steps:

• In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Stir thoroughly to blend.
• Place the milk over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently, stirring from time to time. The milk and sugar will become "thin" and then eventually "simmer" back together and turn a light brown color. Continue to cook, stirring from time to time, until it the sauce is golden brown. This whole process takes about 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or jar to cool.

DATE COMPOTE WITH FRESH PEARS

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan, melt butter over low heat. When it has melted, add the pear slices and toss to coat. Chop the dates into small pieces and add to the pears. Add the honey and a cinnamon and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add a little water to loosen, if necessary. Add the zest and juice from the lemon and stir.
• Serve with pancakes, if desired, and a dollop of sour cream.

CARAMELIZED PEARS WITH DULCE DE LECHE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place pears in large bowl; toss with lemon juice and vanilla. Melt butter in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add sugar; shake skillet to spread sugar evenly. Place pears, cut side down, in skillet; drizzle with any remaining lemon juice mixture from bowl. Cook until sugar begins to dissolve and mixture bubbles all over, shaking pan often, about 5 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake pears until soft and juices are golden, about 15 minutes. Divide pears among plates. Top each pear half with scoop of ice cream. Drizzle with sauce from skillet and serve.
