How to Make Easy Skillet-Roasted Pears with Caramel Sauce | Julia At Home

[@MsAquessance]

❤❤ This is even better with vanilla added to it; specifically, toasted vanilla bean, the way my grandmother used to make it. With or without vanilla, this is a quick, yet elegant dessert.

[@HowdIEvenGetHere]

How much vanilla, liquid or bean…?

[@niko1even]

​@@HowdIEvenGetHere Start with a small amount and keep adding until you feel like the aroma is good.

If Julia says make it, then it is a winner. She is amazing.

Recipe: ⅓ cup water ⅔ cup sugar 2 ripe but firm Bartlett or Bosc pears (8 ounces each), peeled, halved, and cored ⅔ cup heavy cream Salt Add water to 12-inch cast-iron skillet, then pour sugar into center of skillet (don't let it hit skillet's sides). Gently stir sugar with clean spatula to moisten it thoroughly. Bring to boil over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely dissolved and liquid is bubbling, about 2 minutes. Add pears to skillet cut side down, cover, and cook until almost tender (a fork inserted into center of pears meets slight resistance), 10 to 15 minutes, reducing heat as needed to prevent caramel from getting too dark. Uncover, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook until sauce is golden brown and cut sides of pears are beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Pour cream around pears and cook, shaking skillet occasionally, until sauce is smooth and deep caramel color and cut sides of pears are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer pears cut side up to serving platter and season sauce with salt to taste. Spoon sauce over pears. Serve.

Thank you for this!

Thanks. I wish this could be pinned.

[@ErinfromLongIsland]

You are an internet hero 😁

[@faithfuljourneyeater]

I used to do these at work to top salad, but in a port wine reduction and crumbled goat cheese after to top. so AMAZING ❤

[@ajk2749]

Off to the store I go to buy pears, heavy cream and sugar! Thank you, Julia!

[@jasonbean2764]

I recently read that some people can't acknowledge fruit as desert. Apple pie al a mode. Cherry pie with whipped cream. And now, this delight. Maybe fresh fruit on its own may seem skimpy to some, but I love it. And fruit is a key component to many desserts. So take that, fruit skeptics. With a banana split.:)

[@bradsweeney8695]

Made this tonight. I can't believe how the pears tasted just like some fried bananas that I recently had at a Brazilian steak house. Seriously, if my eyes were closed I would have thought I was eat those fried bananas. The pears I cooked had a bit more browning than the video and I used the Bosc variety. This is a ten out of ten recipe, my guests loved it and it was so easy.

[@danapostiglione798]

Perfect fall dessert!

[@karena9508]

I made this tonight with a splash of my vanilla and it was a big hit! The Carmel was a little anemic but I just need to make it a few more times and not rush the Carmel sauce. Oh and I forgot the salt but honestly it wasn't missed - I want to try this with apples! This is a new recipe in the rotation 😊

[@v-dub1317]

I must try these! They look amazing.

[@SharonRUSSO-u5s]

Perfect easy addition to a simple meal. Thank You!!

Great idea for the upcoming holidays!

Looks great ! I will try it tonight

[@deannamadrigal7503]

Thanks, I have a pear tree, and didn't know what to do. Too many 😋

[@robertmccluskey1076]

I’ll make it My Mom used to make pears with cream cheese sauce. Yours looks delicious too.

[@nellykhavelekashindi9049]

I watch from Kenya and i belive that watching your videos on how you cook step by step soon i am gonna become agreat home cook. Thank you so much for every i dear of cooking that you sharing to the whole world.

[@marilynsnider8183]

Looks so good. I can't wait to make it.

[@carolkaiser3102]

I’m super excited to make this. Going out to get some pears!

[@NOTHEOTHERGUY]

I love pears! They're the forgotten fruit!

[@cyndywaskelisthecrowscall]

That looks really good!

[@rosanunez3449]

O M G this is one of the simplest recipes but so incredibly delicious! They type whose taste makes you think you've spent hours to make! Another keeper from ATK! Note: I used both Bosc and Barlett. The bartlett had so much more flavor - they weren't too hard per say - they were the tiniest bit softer than the bosc but oh my the flavor!!

[@charlesmnadeau]

Yum yum

[@davidwiner8571]

Looks delicious 😊😊😊

[@kn3791]

I've made these a few time since I watch this to use my Cosco box of pears. We keep ending up with extra caramel so, I caramelize bananas in a little butter and put in the leftover caramel and a little vanilla the next day. This is a win.

[@filomenacabral6467]

Can’t wait to try it

[@paulam9621]

Can hardly wait to try this!

[@debbiezullo7056]

Beautiful recipe. I make this and I add dried cranberries to the caramel and then serve it over arugula. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing❤

Hello Julia. Thank you for sharing this Pear desert recipe am looking forward to make it.

[@cindysimon]

You made it looks easy to make. I will be trying this. Looks so yummy

[@patrice9365]

Pears are one of the few fruits I can eat, (long story) so thank you so much for this recipe. It looks delicious. I will definitely try it.

[@karenverheyen4028]

Thanks that is going to be a side dish I am making for Christmas dinner

[@Brian.M]

I've been eating a ton of pears lately... and now I'll be eating even more 😆👍

[@roshammann3611]

Looks good.

[@leeevers8976]

Yummy 🤤

[@rogerwarf3245]

I’ve been wanting a recipe for my canned pears. I will try this;may add raisins.

[@michellpapayani4643]

Yummy would you make any recipe different than everything with Punkin cans?

[@michellebarnes7640]

Decadent! Can't wait to try this with some ginger cake or vanilla ice cream 😊

[@hunterstephens4541]

I'm glad she pronounces "caramel" with the middle 'a' silent. Banana has a silent middle 'a' as well.

[@christopherbrand5360]

Any thoughts on whether coconut cream would sub well for the cow's milk cream? This looks delightful!

[@laurreneberry3480]

Yummy

[@gr8tgee]

Wow that's looks amazing, and by the way what pan is that?

[@cindyms.1237]

She has a link under the description to buy that pan.

[@gr8tgee]

@@cindyms.1237 That's great thanks a lot👍

[@MeMe-bs3tc]

I would have thought you'd cook the pears on the non-cut side in the pan as well.

[@Jacksirrom]

i think i might have to go straight back to the grocery store a second time... just made the apple crumble a few few days ago

[@ErinfromLongIsland]

This looks great! I'm wondering if granulated stevia or truvia would work in place of sugar?

[@pumpkin-fu4cm]

What can you eat this with so the rest of the sauce gets used?

[@debihediger4760]

Would that recipe work with apples as well? Because certain times of the year we have a lot of apples.

[@cindybeville5431]

Yumm😋

[@christopherperrote7780]

That shot near the end was like some caramekkake 😂

[@debrahartmann2840]

Great recipe but my pears didn’t get as soft, should I have cooked it on a low flame?

[@MyRetroKitchen]

Does anyone know what lid that is that she used on that pan? I searched the pan listed in her description and it doesn’t come with a lid. That brand doesn’t make a lid like that either. Anyone have any idea?

[@outtathyme5679]

Ca-RAH-mel

[@jekku4688]

This looks yummy, but hmm....thinkin i might get my caramel sauce from pre-made caramel sauce in the can! #lovefoodbutImlazy 😀

[@roxannastogner742]

Is this made with eating pears or cooking pears?

[@naliniganguly649]

Definitely need some crushed pralines and a dollop of vanilla ice cream but great for recovering alcoholics.

Julia, we LOVE you and your vids, but I don't think you quite sold that first bite, LOL. The barely suppressed grimace was total Vitameatavegamin vibes 😂😂

[@celinescrappassion2184]

i got the same impression... but I think it is because she got a surprise by how hot the bite was. I think she probably burned her mouth...

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

Clean spatula? That's what I've been doing wrong! ;-)

Julia, please. It’s pronounced CAR-A-MEL. Carmel is a city in California.

[@markcummings6856]

2/3 cup of sugar is a ridiculous amount for 2 pears.

Maybe this is obvious, but why do you have to wash the pear if it's entirely peeled? You

[@deepuls545]

74% of Americans are overweight o r obese with 41% falling into the obese category. Why not just eat the darn pear before or after a workout. Nature does sweets best.

[@herbpeterson3503]

Pet peeve, car a mel. Not carmel.

[@TheAggromonster]

Pet peeve, gatekeeping pronunciation and getting it wrong. From the Oxford Languages pronunciation guide: "kärməl". Sorry Erb.

[@maqywhaq]

@@TheAggromonster Trace the etymology of the word, and Car-a-mel pronunciation makes far more sense than the regionalize "car-mel" pronunciation(which largely seems to be US specific). Oxford also provides both pronunciations in reference, so your statement of "getting it wrong" can only be interpreted as cherry picking. "kärməl" is most likely a mistake in pronunciation that propagated long enough in a region to work its way into common usage. Key takeaway is that people understand the reference(even if etymology says you got it wrong a bit harder than the other guy).
