Sticky cinnamon pears with whipped almond butter

Ingredients

  • 130g butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp verjuice or white wine
  • 4-6 beurre bosc pears, (depending on size) peeled, quartered and cored
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp golden syrup
  • 50g Vienna almonds, coarsely chopped

Method

Heat half the butter in a very large non-stick pan over medium heat and add brown sugar, cinnamon and verjuice and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add pears and cook, stirring occasionally, for about four to five minutes until pears are tender. Remove and keep warm. For whipped almond butter, soften remaining butter and beat in a small bowl with an electric mixer until pale. Beat in icing sugar and golden syrup then fold in almonds. Serve warm pears and juices topped with a dollop of whipped butter. Delicious served with fingers of buttered toasted fruit loaf.
