Super Simple Pear Dessert

Pears are in season here and I love them. I love them so much that I decided to sautee them in butter and love them even more.

This recipe doesn't call for any sweetener, because the pears are sweet enough on their own. They'll carmelize nicely as you sautee them too.

You will need:

  • Pears. However many you want, thinly sliced and cored. You could peel them, but I'm just about always too lazy to do that, and it hasn't killed me yet.
  • Butter. A tablespoon or two.
  • A dash of cinnamon.
  • An optional dash of vanilla extract or bean. A dash is slightly larger than a smidgen.

Directions:

Melt butter in a large-ish skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced pears, cinnamon, and vanilla if using. Sautee for 10-15 minutes, shaking or flipping the pears periodically. Continue until the pears are slightly browned and slightly soft. Or really brown and really soft if that's your style.

Eat. Add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if you like.
