Pouched Pears With Vanilla Sugar

This is my original recipe. It's a satisfying sweet, yet savory treat for whenever you need a healthy and delicious snack or dessert. Kids, you will need to make this under adult supervision but it's fairly easy to make and soooo good! 


Ingredients
4 Whole Pears
3/4 Cup of Sugar
2 tbs of vanilla extract
1 Cup of any red wine (Kids: get your Mom's permission!)
1 tbs of cinnamon 
8 tbs of AGED balsamic vinegar
8 tbs of marscopone cheese
1 tbs of almond syrup 
Start by cutting all the pears in half and with a small melon baller, de-seed the pears. Once done with that, pour in the red wine, water and almond syrup into a large skillet on a low flame. 


Pour the vanilla extract into the sugar and let chill in the refrigerator for 5-10 minuites. 


Pour the chilled sugar into the simmering liquid, quickly add in the pears and cover. After condensation bulids up on the cover spinkle in the cinnamon, flip the pears over if needed to make sure the whole pear in cover in the liquid. Then cover and let simmer on a very low flam for 30-40 minuites or intill they are very soft. 


Serve on separate dishes and drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the pear and let the chesse melt on top. 



With this recipe you are good to go for a little slice of heaven! 

Tell me what you think after you make these!!!
