Best Fruit Spiced Pear Halves Recipes
SPICED CARAMELIZED PEARS {IN PANELA OR PILONCILLO SYRUP}
Steps:
- In a large pan, combine the water, panela or piloncillo (whole or grated), cinnamon sticks, ginger and cloves. Cook over low heat until the panela or piloncillo has completely dissolved.
- Add the quartered/halves pears and bring the syrup to a boil. Cook over medium to medium high heat for 25 minutes, it should be on a medium boil the whole time. The secret to keep the pears from turning to mush is to avoid stirring them, if needed just gently move them around to rearrange them.
- Remove from the heat and let the pears cool down.
- Can be served warm as a topping for ice cream, crepes, pancakes, waffles, or as a simple dessert on its own with a slice of queso fresco.
