Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 Bosc pears, peeled, cored, cut into 8ths
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Pinch salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon Madagascar vanilla extract
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
- Crystallized ginger, for garnish
Directions
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter. As the butter melts and begins to foam, add the Bosc pears. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the brown sugar and stir to incorporate the sugar mixture, evenly coating the pears. Stir in the salt, cardamom, and vanilla extract, and continue to stir until the liquid becomes syrupy. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve over vanilla ice cream garnished with crystallized ginger

Just make sure the pears are ripe enough before you make this recipe. Our pears were not quite ripe enough and therefore did not get softened during the cooking process. However, the flavors are terrific and we would make it again.
