Ingredients
5 Bartlett pears
1 stick butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons Mexican vanilla extract
1 quart vanilla ice cream, for serving
Directions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Cut pears into thick slices (4 to 5 per pear). Place slices evenly in a large pan or bowl. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour melted butter over pears. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla to pan and mix until pears are thoroughly coated with the mixture.
- Place pears directly onto hot grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove pears and place in individual dessert bowls. Pour remaining butter mixture into a medium, grill-safe saucepan. Place saucepan on grill and cook, stirring, until boiling. Remove from heat.
- Place 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream over the pears in each bowl. Pour butter sauce over ice cream and serve.
