Caramelized Pears For Olive Oil Cake Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add pears, one cut side down, and cook until browned, then reduce heat to medium and cook 3 minutes. Turn pears to other cut side and cook 4 minutes. Add sugar and 1 tablespoon water, swirling pan to combine. Turn pears skin side down and cook until sauce is thickened slightly, 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla and pinch of salt. Serve warm with ice cream.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush two 8-inch-round cake pans with oil. Line with parchment rounds and brush parchment with oil. Dust with flour, tapping out excess.
• In a medium bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In another medium bowl, mix oil and milk. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar, then whisk in zest.
• Add flour and oil mixtures in three parts, beginning and ending with flour. Mix to combine. (Batter will be quite loose.)
• Pour into prepared pans and bake on middle rack, rotating halfway through, until cakes are golden brown and spring back when pressed, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Let cool in pans, then run a knife between cake and inside edge of pan before removing.
• For serving, whisk yogurt and vanilla in a small bowl. Smooth over top of cake and top with Caramelized Pears. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Steps:

• Warm sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once sugar begins to caramelize, add cider, swirling to combine, and then add pears, cut side down. Cook over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until tender and golden, 30 to 40 minutes, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time when pan looks dry.

Steps:

• Halve pears lengthwise; remove cores. (A melon baller removes cores easily, but a small spoon works, too.) Place sugar on a plate.
• Heat a large skillet over medium. Press cut side of each halved pear in sugar. Pressing the cut sides of pears in sugar before cooking helps them caramelize. Place cut side down in skillet (fit will be snug). Cook until beginning to brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup water. Cover; simmer until pears are tender, 5 to 10 minutes (depending on ripeness), adding more water if sugar begins to burn.
• If liquid in pan is thin, simmer until thickened to a saucelike consistency; if it is thick, add more water. Serve sauce over pears.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sugar; cook, stirring, until almost dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pears; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and just golden, 12 to 20 minutes. Pour in honey; cook, stirring, until pears are coated and very soft, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In a saute pan on medium, melt the butter then stir in the sugar. Simmer, stirring occasionally until it begins to turn golden brown and caramelized. Add brandy and lemon juice to the pan and simmer to incorporate. Add pear slices and cook slowly to tenderize and caramelize.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in heavy 10-inch-diameter ovenproof skillet over low heat. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Arrange quartered pears in flower design atop sugar, cutting some pieces to fit center if necessary.
• Whisk flour, 2/3 cup sugar, crystallized ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, ground ginger and salt in medium bowl to blend. Whisk eggs, oil, vanilla and orange peel in large bowl to blend. Mix in grated pears. Mix dry ingredients into egg mixture.
• Carefully pour batter over pears in skillet. Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool cake in skillet on rack 20 minutes. Run knife around skillet sides to loosen. Place plate on skillet over cake. Invert cake onto plate. Serve warm.

• Preheat oven to 160 Degrees Celsius.
