PEAR AND SOUR CHERRY BROWN BETTY WITH BRANDY HARD SAUCE



Pear and Sour Cherry Brown Betty With Brandy Hard Sauce image

Most brown betties are made with sweetened apple slices. To mix things up a bit, I made mine with pears, and threw in some brandy-soaked dried cherries to accentuate the brandy I'd used to season the hard sauce. As soon as the pear betty emerges from the oven, spooned out a portion and cover it with lumps of hard sauce. The sauce melts on contact, dripping goodness into the fruit and soaking into the crevices of the toasted bread topping.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup Cognac or brandy
Pinch of grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons Cognac or brandy
2/3 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 1/2 cups white bread or challah, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 pounds ripe pears about 5 pears, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons hard cider or apple cider

Steps:

  • To make the hard sauce, in a medium bowl set an electric mixer on high and beat the butter until fluffy. Reduce speed to low and add confectioners' sugar. When the sugar is incorporated, set the speed back to high. Add the brandy 1 tablespoon at a time and beat until combined. Beat in the nutmeg. Transfer the sauce to a ramekin or bowl, cover and refrigerate. Hard sauce can be made at least a week ahead, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving (about 20 minutes).
  • To make the brown betty, heat the Cognac or brandy in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the liquid has come to a simmer, turn off the heat and add the cherries. Allow them to absorb most of the liquid, about 20 minutes.
  • While cherries are standing, heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the sugar mixture for sprinkling. Add bread, butter and lemon zest. Toss until sugar has dissolved and bread is completely coated.
  • In a shallow 1 1/2-quart gratin dish (or a 9-by-9-inch pan), scatter a little under half the bread cubes. Layer half the pear slices and half the cherries (along with any liquid) on top. Cover with a cup of bread crumbs and sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons cider. Layer remaining pears, cherries and bread. Sprinkle top with remaining cider and reserved sugar-and-spice mixture.
  • Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Take off foil and continue baking, until crumbs are golden brown and pears are very soft, about 15 minutes more. Serve warm with dollops of hard sauce.

PEAR BETTYS



Pear Bettys image

An easy, spiced fruit dessert with buttered breadcrumbs or cake-crumb topping that turns golden brown as it cooks, that's a betty. No one seems to know who Betty was. Our individual bettys have two layers of Bartlett pears. In between and on top is a blend of torn sourdough bread, butter, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of apple cider.

  • Pear Custard Pie. This is one of our favorites, so we thought we had better include it early on. Imagine a dish stuffed with sweet and oozy pears, surrounded by a firm layer of sweet and delicious baked vanilla custard… You aren’t going to have to imagine it, as you can make this pear custard pie recipe really easily at home.
  • Easy Pear Crisp. Three words, easy, pear, crisp… that pretty much sums up this fabulous easy dessert you can make at home. We love to make this one around fall as it is absolutely packed with warm and sweet spices.
  • Pear Brown Betty. This is a recipe that once again features the pears’ best friends… Butter and brown sugar! All wrapped in a crisp shortcrust! You’ve probably had an apple brown betty.
  • Pears Poached in Red Wine. Ah, a classic. Poached pears are amazing. We love to serve them with a large dollop of plain old vanilla ice cream. There’s something about the hot and cold that really works so well!
  • Easy Pear Muffins. Morning, noon, or night, these little muffins are just the right size to give you a fruity carb boost. We love to top ours with a kind of streusel mix made out of coconut sugar, chopped nuts, and a little butter!
  • Maple Vanilla Baked Pears. Do you know what we love more than tasty desserts? Tasty desserts that are really simple too! With only 4 ingredients, it is hard to think of why you wouldn’t make this dessert!
  • Pear Cake with cream topping. This one is great to serve hot or cold. The cake is a little bit denser than we are used to and is really filling. Our favorite to serve with this is lashings of yellow vanilla custard, but it also works really well on its own.
  • Italian Pear Cake. For such an impressive dish, we find that it has relatively few ingredients. Whenever we make this, we are taken to a world of frothy coffees, piazzas, and beautiful people.
  • Pear Upside Down Cake. Why make a normal cake when you can make an upside-down pear cake? Well, the reason is actually that it is so much easier. This is so simple.
  • Spiced Almond Pear Cake. We aren’t sure why, but almonds always seem to work really well with pears. Here’s a perfect case in point. This cake isn’t as light as some, but it is absolutely packed with flavor!
