Ingredients

• 6 Bosc pears, (about 6 ounces each) 1 1/2 pounds coarse salt 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1/3 cup heavy cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the pears upright in an 8-inch ceramic dish that is 4 inches deep. Cover pears with salt, allowing stems to stick out. Bake until pears are tender when pricked with a fork, 60 to 75 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Cook, without stirring, until syrup comes to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush several times to prevent crystals from forming. Let boil, swirling pan occasionally, until medium amber. Remove from heat, and carefully stir in butter and cream (the caramel will steam and spatter).

Remove pears from the salt, allowing a small amount to cling to each pear. Place each pear on a serving plate. Pour caramel sauce over top, and serve.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       12/31/2017   I've made this recipe several times, always with great results and rave reviews. You do need to use pears that are at least somewhat ripe, and also I find that they need to roast about 90 minutes. Taking these to a New Year's Eve dinner party tonight!  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/24/2012   This is a fantastic, easy recipe that was a huge hit at the Thanksgiving dinner I attended. The pears taste amazing after being roasted. It's nice to have a light dessert option like this after eating a heavy meal. Cooking the pears is easy but the caramel is a little tricky - if it's your first time making caramel, look for some videos online that describe the process. The caramel can go from amber to burnt in 20 seconds.
