Steps:

• Microwave 10 ounces unwrapped soft caramels with 1 tablespoon half-and-half, stirring every 20 seconds, until smooth. Pour into a wide mug, then quickly dip 4 pears in the caramel, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and let set on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 275 Degrees.
• Cube English muffins into 1" pieces and layer evenly on a baking sheet. Place baking sheet in broiler to toast (remove from broiler when lightly toasted).
• In a large mixing bowl combine milk, eggs, egg yolks, and sugar. Once all ingredients are well incorporated fold in the pears. Finally add bread pieces allowing them to soak up milk mixture.
• Pour melted butter into bottom of a 9x9" pan, making sure in coats the bottom. Spoon bread mixture into the pan making sure to leave excess liquid in the bowl (to be used for sauce).
• Place pan in oven and allow to bake for 45 minute or until bread pudding has set and browned.
• For Caramel Cream Sauce:.
• In a heavy sauce pan combine the jar of Caramel sauce and the remaining milk mixture from the pudding . Warm over low/medium heat until well combined and warmed. (Don't bring to a rolling boil, simmering is ok).
• Pour Warm sauce over bread pudding and serve either warm or chilled.
• *for an extra twist you can also add dried berries (Blueberries/Raspberries) to the bread mixture for extra complexity and flavor.

Steps:

• Put 300g of the sugar and the vanilla pod in a narrow, deep saucepan with 1 litre of water. Use a vegetable peeler to pare the zest from the lemon, then drop that in the pan too. Heat gently until the sugar has melted, then bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, juice the lemon and peel the skin from the pears, rubbing with lemon juice as you go, to stop the flesh browning. Carry on peeling until the pears are reduced to a size that only takes up about half of one of the holes of a muffin tin. Put the pears in the pan with the poaching liquid, cover and turn down the heat. Gently poach for about 30 mins until they are really soft - test with a skewer at the widest part. Keep the fruit submerged in the poaching liquid in the fridge until ready to finish the pudding.
• Meanwhile, make a salted caramel sauce by melting the remaining 200g sugar and the butter together in a saucepan. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the cream, bring to the boil and bubble for 2 mins while stirring. Remove from the heat and stir in the salt. Make the batter by whizzing the milk, egg and flour in a food processor or blender until smooth (or whisk by hand). Transfer the batter to a jug. Both can be made up to 24 hrs ahead, just chill until you're ready.
• To finish, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Divide about ½ tsp sunflower oil between 6 holes of a deep, metal muffin tin. Put in the oven to heat for 10 mins. Trim the base of each pear so they'll sit flat, then dip in some of the caramel sauce and transfer to a plate for a minute for the excess to run off (you can tip this back in with the rest of the sauce).
• Working quickly, sit a pear in each hole of the tin, and pour the batter in and around. Put back in the oven and bake for 16-20 mins until the puffs are risen and golden. Warm the caramel sauce while the puffs are baking, then serve together immediately, with extra cream or crème fraîche.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Place butter in a baking pan large enough to hold the pears in a single layer: set in the heating oven until it melts.
• Sprinkle sugar over melted butter, then place pears, cut side down, on top. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven, turn pears over and baste with pan sauce. Return to oven; bake until golden and glossy, about 10 minutes longer.
• Let cool slightly. Transfer pears to dessert plates or bowls. Top each with dollop of sour cream, drizzle with caramel pan sauce, sprinkle with nuts and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine water and 1/4 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until dissolved and light brown in color, about 6 minutes. Pour into the bottoms of 2 custard cups; rotate cups to spread caramel across the bottoms.
• Arrange pear pieces over the caramel; top with walnuts. Sprinkle ginger, 1 pinch nutmeg, black pepper, cinnamon, and 1 pinch lemon peel on top.
• Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Whisk egg, 2 tablespoons sugar, rum, 1/2 teaspoon lemon peel, and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg in a bowl until well beaten. Stir in the milk mixture slowly; mix well. Stir in bread cubes; let soak for 5 minutes. Divide mixture between the prepared cups. Place cups in a baking pan; add hot tap water to come halfway up the sides of the cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool until safe to handle, about 20 minutes.
• Run a sharp knife around the inside edge of the cooled puddings and invert onto small dessert plates.
