So I know I
haven’t posted anything for a while now. That’s because I wasn’t really sure
what to post. I thought about it and I just figured I will start from now on to
post not only what comes to my mind, but also delicious recipes or fashion
stuff or you know the usual things….
A small Autumn Treat
My dad is a
cook (and whith cook I mean a real cook) and he showed me this really
scrumptious Italian recipe for baked pears. I think the recipe is perfect for
autumn.
This is
what you will need:
- 10 pears
- A lemon
- 300 g of sugar
- All sorts of spices
- A bottle or more of Red wine
It’s really
simple. You wash the pears and place them in a preferably high glass casserole. It can as well be out of any other material as long
as it’s big enough and withstands high temperatures.
Then you cast (not
sure if this is a good use of the verb) the wine over it. We just used up the
open red wine bottles that stood around the house, but make sure it’s dry red
wine so it’s good for cooking.
Now you add all sorts of spices to it. My dad
for example added cinnamon, anis, cloves and other stuff that I sadly was not
capable to recognize. Oh and don’t forget to put some of the lemon peels (not
the whole lemon just the peels).
The last step is to
add half of your 300 g of sugar to it. Preheat your oven to 200 °C and let them
bake 45 minutes. Make sure that you check on them several times and spread the
wine over it. You now like with a spoon. Then sprinkle the rest of the sugar over it
and let it bake for another 10 minutes.
You will have some wine left so put that in a sauce pan and let it boil down. At the end there will be a sweet kind of syrup left which you can use as a sauce.
Before you eat anythink let the pears cool down.Really eassy to make and really yummy....
