Poached Pears with Caramel Sauce
Every season has its jewels when it comes to produce. Obviously, the most popular one is summer with the abundance of all the fruits and vegetables! The farmers’ market 👩🌾👨🌾 stands are overloaded with produce. I’m not completely certain but I’m pretty sure that summer is the time of year when people buy the most produce…
Another season that brings a wide variety of fresh produce is autumn 🍂! The harvest from September to November brings a different kind of healthy produce. The wide variety of vegetables is anything from squash, beets, cabbage, rutabagas, Brussels sprouts, celery roots to sweet potatoes 🍠.
Let’s not forget its fruits too with cranberries, passion fruit, apples 🍏🍎, lemons, pomegranates, pears, and guavas… just to name a few. It’s just another beautiful rainbow 🌈 of yumminess!
Having people over is fun! Your friends and family join you for dinner and you really want to spoil them with a scrumptious meal and yummy side dish. Of course, you’ll serve them a nice appetizer, pick the right wine 🍷 to go along with your menu, play the perfect music 🎶 in the background and even go the extra mile to get some nice flowers to decorate your home! Now, here’s the final delicious touch… dessert! As I mentioned in the beginning of this video, baked goods are a lip-smacking choice, no doubt about it, but sometimes, it’s better to opt for something different.
Pears are a delicious “late season” fruit, packed with vitamins, fiber, potassium, and much more! I love pears as a mid-afternoon snack as well as a dessert. One of my favorite ways to prepare them is Poached Pears with Caramel Sauce! It takes no time to make as long as you’ve already made the salted caramel sauce ahead of time. Every time I serve this, everyone and I mean everyone loves it 💖!
Without a doubt, baked goods are yummy but when these sexy shaped fruits 🍐 are in season, why not serve them to your guests for dessert? It’s the perfect way to end a delicious dinner with a flavorful dessert like these Poached Pears with Caramel Sauce. This is a “classic” that shouldn’t be missed next time you’re entertaining!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
P.S.: As I was making this video 🎥, I had half a can of sweetened condensed milk from a previous recipe because I didn’t want it to go to waste. So what I did was to mix an equal amount of condensed milk with my salted caramel sauce and the results were fabulous! Now, there’s another way to top your poached pears…
