Pear Recipe

Take one can of pears and drain and rinse them. Put them in a pan add 1/4 cup of brown sugar and a tablespoon of butter or margargine. Cook them until the brown sugar and butter glaze is melted and stir them often so that the glaze covers the entire batch of pears. You can also do this with fresh pears, but you have to core them first.

You can use pears in the same way that you would use pineapples for a pineapple upside down cake. Buy them canned and save some of the juice they come in.

When the cake mix part of the recipe calls for water, add the equivalent amount of juice instead. It makes the cake far tastier and aromatic than plain water does.

Nothing is better than poached pears and a little bit of whipped cream on top. Yummy!

Take a peek at my avatar, and you'll see a great pear recipe- wine poached pears with mascarpone. The recipe can be found at http://www.thinktasty.com/wine-poached-pears-with-honeyed-mascarpone/

Try taking an apple recipe and substituting pears for apples and ground ginger for cinnamon, if any. For example, pear pie, or baked pears (slice them in half, hollow out the cores, fill the hollows with sugar, a little ginger, and butter, then bake in a pan with a little water for about half an hour).
