Ingredients

2 bosc pears
4 caramels
½ cup caramel syrup
2 tablespoon chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
Cut the pears in half, leaving the stem attached to one of the halves.
Scoop out the cores with a melon baller.
Use a knife to make a deep cut around the inside of the pear (without cutting all of the way through), in the same shape as the pears.
Flip the pears over and make narrow cuts all the way around the pears without cutting the very middle.
Put the prepared pears into small, greased baking dishes and place a caramel in the hallowed out center of each pear.
Spoon one tablespoon of caramel syrup on top of each of the pear halves. Set the remaining caramel aside for later.
Sprinkle each of the pear halves with 1/2 tablespoon of chopped pecans.
Bake at 350˚F for 15 minutes.
Remove them from the oven and top each of the pear halves with an additional tablespoon of caramel syrup.
Return them to the oven for an additional 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and spoon the caramel sauce from the small baking dishes over the pears. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

One: Cut Like An Apple

To make these pears more like our Bloomin’ Apples, cut the top off of each pear. Then, make the smaller cuts and place them in small round baking dishes.

Two: Caramel Pear Halves

You can skip making the separate cuts we make to make the bloomin’ shape and simply make caramel pear halves.

Three: Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
