How to Make Glazed Pears
- In a large bowl, mix the juice of 1 lemon with 2 cups of water.
- Core 4 ripe but firm pears. Slice them lengthwise into wedges, then chop into bite-sized pieces (about 1/2 inch).
- As you work, place the pear pieces in the lemon water to prevent browning.
- Drain the pears and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large skillet (10-12 inch), melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the pears and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices (about 10 minutes).
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of granulated sugar over the pears. Continue cooking until the juices are absorbed and the pears are glazed and slightly caramelized (about 5-7 minutes).
- Watch carefully to prevent burning. Reduce heat if necessary.
- Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and cook for another minute.
- Taste and adjust with additional lemon juice or sugar, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
