How to Make Sauteed Pears With Balsamic Vinegar
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut 2 ripe but firm pears (such as Bosc or Anjou) into 8 wedges each, removing the core and stem.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and the pear wedges to the skillet. Gently stir to coat the pears in butter and sugar.
- Cook the pears for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and lightly brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pears are tender and caramelized.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle each pear with 1/2 teaspoon of high-quality balsamic vinegar.
- Serve the sauteed pears warm or at room temperature. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
