Roasted Pears with Brown Sugar Butter Sauce and White Chocolate Drizzle


I had some Bosc pears on hand and couldn't figure out what exactly I wanted to do with them, though I had considered roasting them after seeing someone do that on a segment on Food Network.

Then I ran across an ad insert in Bon Appetit magazine, and the photo of these roasted pears was so enticing that I knew I had to try this one.

The recipe is custom created for McCormick Gourmet Spice Collection by Cat Cora, a fellow Mississippi gal, and a favorite chef for me, who also happens to be Executive Chef for Bon Appetit.

This is a slightly adapted version from the one in the ad insert, and I'm thinking that this dish would make an amazing addition to any holiday table.

Start off with some Bosc or Anjou pears and a classic mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. You sure know it's fall when you start seeing these spices surfacing in recipes don't you?


Once the pears are roasted, they are topped with a combination of roasted, sliced almonds...


...chopped dried berries and golden raisins. And, white chocolate. Oh my.


My, my, my y'all. So good!
