Cinnamon Pears and Vanilla Ice Cream
A quick summer dessert.
(serves 2)
1 very ripe pear
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. brown sugar
2 c. vanilla ice cream
1. Slice pear into thin pieces.
2. In a small sauce pan combine water and spices, bring to a simmer.
3. Add pears, cook 8 min stirring occasionally.
4. Add sugar, cook 2 min stirring constantly.
5. Spoon over top of ice cream and serve immediately.
This is a slightly sweet rice creation of mine that goes best with Asian dishes. I don’t think it’s sweet enough to really work as a dessert, though.
