Bosc Pears make their own light syrup right on the stove top. Add a touch of vanilla and orange liqueur, and you have an autumn dessert that won't weigh you down.
Ingredients
- 4 Boscs pears
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Cointreau or other orange liqueur
Instructions
-
1
Peel the pears. You can halve and core them, or leave them whole: just carefully core the blossom end of each pear and remove the seeds.

Place the pears into a large saucepan. Fill with enough water to cover the pears by 1 inch. Stir in the sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until the liquid has reduced into a light syrup; this may take up to 1 hour. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Cool until just warm, then stir in the liqueur and serve.

This black bean hummus is the absolute best hummus I have ever had. It goes great with toasted pita bread. If it tastes like it needs a little extra kick, add more lemon juice.

Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza
My family's favorite Sunday morning meal is my delicious and easy biscuits and gravy. One morning I decided to double the sausage gravy batch and try out a new recipe - biscuits and gravy pizza! Absolutely amazing. Now my family asks for this just as much as the standard biscuits and gravy. The recipe calls for about half of the amount of gravy that is made; we either make two pizzas with it, or freeze the rest for a later date!
