Winter Pears


Serves: 12
Total Calories: 262

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 red Bartlett pears
6 Comice or Bosc pears
1/2 pound almond or vanilla flavored Italian biscotti
1/2 pound mascarpone cheese or caramel or cinnamon flavored gelato or ice cream
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon stirred into cheese or vanilla ice cream

Directions:

Combine sugar, vinegar, pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a bowl. Mix well to incorporate. Let stand for 15 minutes.

In the meantime cut the pears (skin on) into thin wedges with the seeds and stem removed. A good trick is to halve the fruit then use a melon-baller to scoop out the seeds then trim away the small bit of stem.

Place pears in a mixing bowl and carefully mix. When the balsamic-sugar mixture is ready, pour over the fruit and mix gently to coat evenly. Gently crush the biscotti into 6 serving bowls. Divide the pears into each dish then top with a dollop of the mascarpone cheese or a scoop of caramel or cinnamon flavored gelato or ice cream. Serve immediately
