List of Ingredients
For the caramel sauce:
1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
1/2 cup (125 ml) heavy cream
1/4 cup (60 ml) butter
1/2 tsp (2 ml) vanilla extract
4-6 ripe pears, quartered and cored
4-6 slices pound cake
Powdered (confectioner's) sugar
Recipe
Place the sugar in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat and cook
without touching the sugar but gently swirling the pan until the sugar
is melted and dark brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Note: Use extreme
caution because the sugar is very hot. Meanwhile, bring the cream and
butter to a simmer in a different pan. Add the cream mixture to the
sugar carefully because it will bubble violently and the sugar will
stiffen. Stir in the vanilla and continue cooking until the sugar
melts again and the sauce becomes smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Sprinkle the pear quarters and slices of pound cake generously with
powdered sugar. Grill over hot coals or under a preheated broiler,
turning once, until the pears are tender, 5 to 7 minutes, and the
pound cake is lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Place the pears on top
of the pound cake and drizzle with the caramel sauce. Serves 4 to 6.
