Notes
Can I use a different type of pear? While Bosc pears are recommended because they hold their shape well and have a natural sweetness that complements the caramelization process, you can substitute with other varieties like Bartlett or Anjou, but the texture and sweetness may vary.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time? Yes! You can caramelize the pears ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Reheat gently before serving.
Can I add alcohol to the recipe? Yes, you can add a splash of gluten free rum, brandy, or bourbon to the pan when caramelizing the pears for an extra layer of flavor. Just be sure to cook off the alcohol before serving.
How should I store leftovers? If you have any leftovers (though unlikely!), place in an airtight container and refrigerate. They should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
