Caramelized Rosemary Pears

Serves: 6-8

Difficulty:  Easy

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Hints of rosemary and pepper highlight this wonderfully sweet and flavorful dessert. Enjoy with a scoop of soy ice cream.

2 tablespoons vegan margarine

5 pears (about two 14.5 oz cans), cut into wedges

1 sprig fresh rosemary

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Melt margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pears, rosemary and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pears are brown and caramelized, 15-20 minutes. Remove rosemary sprig and stir in pepper. Serve warm.

Notes

You can use fresh pears, just prep them beforehand: Peal, core and cut each into 8 wedges. Spread them in one layer on a greased pan and bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Let cool, cover with plastic wrap and chill (overnight if time allows).
