Have you ever tried the baked caramelized pears?
And the sweet pumpkin?
Imagine a combination of the two recipes in a single dessert, easy to make and delicious to serve at the end of a meal.
Warm and with a scoop of ice cream or a sprig of cream it is a real treat. Here's how it is prepared.
How to make pumpkin stuffed baked pears
First, wash some very well pears abate and then cut them in half with a small knife or a teaspoon and remove the central part of the seeds.
Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with the cut up and season with orange juice and brown sugar mixed with the cinnamon.
Cook at 200 ° in a static oven for 15 minutes.
Separately, sauté in a pan small cubes of pumpkin with a knob of butter, brown sugar and cinnamon and, also in this case, a splash of freshly squeezed orange juice and grated zest. The pumpkin must become soft and caramelized.
Once the pears are ready, cover them with the diced pumpkin and cook everything in the oven for 5 minutes with a sprinkling of cinnamon and cane sugar and chopped pistachios.
Serve the fruit hot with a few drops of maple syrup or honey and a scoop of vanilla ice cream next to it.
Even with apples
You can replace pears with large ones golden apples and add, if you like, raisins and dried fruit such as walnuts and chopped almonds.
Remember you have to keep the peel of apples or pears.
Baked fruit pan
We give you another creative and easy-to-implement idea that might intrigue you.
Try making one baking tray of autumn fruits in the oven, just as you do a pan of vegetables, only with sugar and spices as a condiment e honey is coconut butter instead of oil and salt.
You can also add aromatic herbs such as mint, thyme and rosemary which always go very well with desserts.
Then cut pears, apples, squash, sweet potatoes, apple persimmons, but also some Orange and maybe a fennel into large pieces more or less all the same size and then put everything in a pan with a sprinkling of sugar, a spoonful of coconut oil and plenty of cinnamon.
Cook at 200 ° for 20 minutes and serve the "cooked fruit salad" warm.
Easy jam
Let's call it “easy” because we can't say it fast.
But follow this advice if you want to prepare the marmalade without spending time mixing it in the pot.
Put some pieces of fruit in the oven with half the weight of sugar and the juice of half a lemon and let it cook at 160 ° until the fruit is very soft, then approx 60 minutes.
Then blend everything and the marmalade ready.
You can try it with plums, peaches, apricots, apples and pears, but also with fruits that require shorter cooking times such as citrus fruits.
