Recipe
Baked pears with almond in caramel sauce
Method
- Make a cut along the side of each pear in order to remove a little “wedge”.
- Soften the butter until it becomes a paste and brush each fruit all over. Roll each pear into the caster sugar and place in a baking tray.
- Add a little piece of butter on top of each fruit and fill the tray with the water.
- Bake in a hot oven at 200C for approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
- Toast the flaked almonds quickly in a pan.
- Arrange the pears in a plate, pour the cooking jus on top of the fruits, which is now a caramel sauce. Add the flaked almonds and enjoy when still hot.
- Et Voila!! Simple and effective winter warmer.
Serving Suggestion
If you want to be naughty, add a ball of Vanilla bourbon ice cream with it. Delicious!

Franck's Advice
January is the last “seasonal” month for the pears and we should make the most of it. Why not eating them hot with a caramel sauce? Cold weather and comfort food goes well together.
