SALT-ROASTED PEARS WITH CARAMEL SAUCE
Baking a Bosc in salt intensifies its flavor; the pear arrives at the table with just a dusting of the crystals and a topping of caramel sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the pears upright in an 8-inch ceramic dish that is 4 inches deep. Cover pears with salt, allowing stems to stick out. Bake until pears are tender when pricked with a fork, 60 to 75 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Cook, without stirring, until syrup comes to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush several times to prevent crystals from forming. Let boil, swirling pan occasionally, until medium amber. Remove from heat, and carefully stir in butter and cream (the caramel will steam and spatter).
- Remove pears from the salt, allowing a small amount to cling to each pear. Place each pear on a serving plate. Pour caramel sauce over top, and serve.
SALT-BAKED PEARS
The salt crust encasing these pears - a method most often used with whole fish and some poultry - does what salt always does: It amplifies. In this instance, the sweet, juicy peary-ness of the pear. Ideally, these should be slipped into the oven after pulling out another dish in order to minimize time in the kitchen. As a dinner party dessert, it's a perfect punctuation mark.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy and tripled in volume.
- Stir in kosher salt, and mix well with a stiff whisk until slightly clumpy.
- When too difficult to whisk, use your hands to blend the salt mixture until it becomes uniformly wet, heavy and slightly sticky. In other words, like the worst snow-shoveling day of your life.
- With a sharp knife, trim a sliver, as needed, from the bottom of each pear so they stand upright on their own.
- Pack the salt mixture around each whole pear, including the bottom, to create a thin and even encasement.
- Gently place the pears on a lined baking sheet and bake until golden, about 45 minutes. Use a cake tester to test for doneness, piercing through the very top of the pear at the stem. We like the pears a little al dente - cooked through but with some tooth. We don't want applesauce.
- Pears can be held warm in the oven at the lowest possible setting until ready to serve.
- To serve, crack the salt crust and discard. Take care to brush off any clinging salt with a clean dish towel, and serve the roasted pear with wet black walnuts (see recipe).
