Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 pears, slightly firm
5 cups water
2 cups sugar
¾ cup rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
vanilla ice cream, to taste
⅓ cup dark chocolate, melted

Steps:

  • Peel the pears and cut the bottoms out, but leave the stems intact.
  • Mix the water, sugar, rum, and vanilla in a large pot. Set to medium heat.
  • Add the pears. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 40 minutes, turning occasionally. Cook until soft and golden (this can take less time depending on the ripeness of your pears.
  • Scoop out the pears and place upright on a dish. At this point you can cook the liquid longer until it becomes a syrup, or ladle a small amount directly onto the pears right away.
  • Add optional ice cream.
  • Melt some dark chocolate and spoon it onto the pear or your favorite toppings like nuts!
  • Enjoy!
