Roasted Pear Sangria Recipes

PEACH SANGRIA

Steps:

• Blend peaches, hot water, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a blender or food processor until smooth. Transfer to a pitcher; stir in dry white wine and triple sec. Cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
• Strain peach mixture through a large cheesecloth-lined sieve; squeeze cloth to remove all the juices. Pour juice into a large pitcher; stir in sparkling white wine.

ROASTED PEARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Peel, if you wish (I leave them unpeeled) Slice pear in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds to make a nice circle. Spray with veggies spray and set aside in a gratin dish sprayed with veggie spray, cut side up.
• In a small bowl mix together, cream cheese, salt, nutmeg and 1 teaspoon honey. Fill each pear half cavity with half of the cheese mixture.
• Place a half walnut on top of the cheese mixture; lightly press it down. Drizzle pear halves with remaining teaspoon of honey.
• On centre grate in oven, roast at 350°F for about 1 hour or until soft. Test with a toothpick at about 45 minutes.

ROASTED PEARS WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

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.
