"All you need to saute pears to perfection is the fruit, a bit of fat, a touch of your preferred sweetener, and perhaps some warm spices. The pears can be peeled or not, depending on whether you prefer a more rustic look or something a touch more elegant. The pears can be cut into thin slices or large cubes and then gently cooked alongside a nice pat of butter or neutral oil and your preferred sweetener until nice and tender."
"The chosen sweetener can be white sugar, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, or whatever else you would like to complement the fruit. Once cooked through, add depth with a sprinkle of warm spice - cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, or cardamom, for example - giving it just a minute in the pan to meld. And that's all there is to it. That alone makes a wonderful dessert, but there are plenty of ways to gussy it up as well."
Pears are often overlooked in desserts despite their delicate, buttery flavor. A quick saute in butter or neutral oil with a touch of sweetener and optional warm spices softens the fruit and concentrates its aroma. Pears can be peeled or left rustic, and sliced thin or cubed before gently cooking until tender. Sweeteners such as white or brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup pair well. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, or cardamom and give the pan a minute to meld. Sauteed pears serve alone or as a topping for whipped cream, yogurt, granola, or ice cream.
