Succulent Marsala Infused Pear Delight
  • Prep Time

  • Cook Time
    20 mins
  • Total Time
    35 mins

Ingredients

  • 4 Bartlett pears weighing approximately 8 ounces each
  • ½ cup of Holland House® Marsala Cooking Wine
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon of aromatic cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons of butter, melted
  • A scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream
  • ¼ teaspoon of finely toasted pecans

Step 1

Begin by slicing the pears lengthwise and carefully scooping out the cores. In a small mixing bowl, combine the Marsala cooking wine with brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, giving it a gentle stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

Next, in a spacious 12-inch skillet, let the butter melt beautifully before incorporating the Marsala mixture. Allow the mixture to bubble over medium heat, then delicately nestle the pears into the skillet, with their cut sides facing down. Cover the skillet and let the pears simmer over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit for 30-45 minutes until the pears are pleasantly warm. Serve each pear half in a charming small bowl and don't forget to swirl the remaining sauce in the skillet, drizzling 1-2 teaspoons of the warm sauce over each serving.

Step 4

For an extra touch of indulgence, top each pear with a delightful scoop of ice cream and, if desired, sprinkle some toasted pecans over the top. This dessert is best enjoyed immediately, savoring the delightful blend of flavors and textures.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Embrace the art of layering when storing your succulent Marsala-infused pear delight. Begin by placing a thin layer of wax paper at the bottom of your container to prevent any sticking.
  2. 2. Elevate your storage game by using a clear glass jar to showcase the vibrant colors of your dessert. This not only adds a visually pleasing touch but also allows you to easily monitor the levels of your pear delight.
