Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Slow Cooker Maple-Sauced Pears Source: www.bettycrocker.com Serves: 6 6 pears 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (or alternative sweetener) 1/3 cup maple syrup 1 tablespoon dairy-free margarine (or oil) 1 teaspoon grated orange peel 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 tablespoons orange juice Peel pears. Core pears from bottom, leaving stems attached. Place pears upright in 3 1/2- to 5-quart slow cooker. Mix remaining ingredients except cornstarch and orange juice; pour over pears. Cover and cook on high heat setting 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until tender. Remove pears from cooker; place upright in serving dish or individual dessert dishes. Mix cornstarch and orange juice; stir into sauce in cooker. Cover and cook on high heat setting about 10 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Spoon sauce over pears. Serving Ideas : For an elegant dessert, place each pear upright on a pretty dessert plate. Spoon the sauce around the pear, and sprinkle with chopped toasted nuts or coconut. Spoon a big dollop of soft whipped (tofu) cream alongside the pear, and garnish the plate with a twisted orange slice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
