CARAMALISED PEARS (GF)(DF)

GF, DF, Low Chemical

Serves 4

• 4 firm packham pears (cored and peeled thickly, halved or sliced)
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp Nuttelex or other suitable DF spread (or butter if dairy is tolerated)
• 100ml water
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste

1

Place pears in a pan (they should fit snuggly, but should not be stacked on one another)

2

Add butter and sugar – on moderate to high heat cook pears until caramalised.

Once caramalised add water and vanilla and cover with a tight fitting lid. Turn heat down to low and cook for 10 minutes. Check occasionally and adding more water as it evaporates.
