Rum-Spiced Pears image

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 Anjou, Bartlett, or Bosc pears, not too ripe
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
1/4 cup water
4 whole cloves

Steps:

  • 1 Peel the pears, leaving the stems intact. With a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the core and seeds, working from the bottom of the pears. 2 In a saucepan just large enough to hold the pears, stir together the sugar, rum, and water over medium heat until the sugar is melted, about 5 minutes. Add the pears. Scatter the cloves around the fruit. 3 Cover the pan and bring the liquid to a simmer. Cook over medium-low heat 15 to 20 minutes or until the pears are tender when pierced with a knife. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pears to a serving dish. 4 Simmer the liquid uncovered until reduced and syrupy. Strain the liquid over the pears. Let cool. 5 Serve at room temperature or cover and chill in the refrigerator. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
