    Tantalizing Butterscotch Pear Recipe for Your Slow Cooker

    November 30, 2012 by burntapple 3 Comments

    Butterscotch pears are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed year-round. This recipe uses a slow cooker to prepare the pears, which allows the fruit to cook slowly and evenly, resulting in a perfectly tender and flavorful dish.

    Making Butterscotch Pear Recipe

    It's hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. I am a definite online shopper. It's so much easier than battling the stores. I feel the same way about cooking. With family coming in and out of town this time of year, making simple and easy foods that allow me to spend time visiting with my loved ones is important to me.

    Butterscotch pears are a perfect dessert for any occasion. They are easy to make, and the slow cooker does all the work for you. The pears are cooked in a rich and creamy butterscotch sauce that is the perfect complement to the sweet, tender fruit.

    The Perfect Pear

    The key to this recipe is to use ripe pears. Pears that are not quite ripe will not be as flavorful or as tender when cooked. Look for pears that are slightly soft to the touch and have a nice aroma.

    Butterscotch Sauce

    The butterscotch sauce is also important. It is made by melting butter and brown sugar together, then adding cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. The sauce should be thick and creamy, and it should coat the pears evenly.

    Cooking the Pears and Butterscotch Sauce

    When cooking the pears in the slow cooker, it is important to use low heat. High heat will cause the pears to cook too quickly and become mushy. Low heat will allow the pears to cook slowly and evenly, resulting in a perfectly tender and flavorful dish.

    Serve Pears with Ice Cream

    The pears are ready when they are tender, and the butterscotch sauce is bubbly and thick. They can be served warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
