This delicious treat is a delightful way to end a late-summer meal.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pecan halves, toasted
- 2-1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 firm-ripe pears
- Garnish: 4 pecan halves
- Crystal Vanilla Ice Cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse toasted pecans until fine. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and butter and pulse until combined. Halve pears, use a spoon to gently carve out the seeds, and arrange, cut sides up, on a small baking sheet. Divide pecan mixture among pear halves, mounding it in center, and garnish each mound with a pecan half. Sprinkle pears with remaining 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Bake in middle of oven until pecan mixture is golden, about 10-15 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
