I recently learned that I have interstitial cystitis & the only "safe" fruits for me now are pears & blueberries. So I came up with this as a fruity dessert for myself & it is phenomenal! My hubby is not a big pear fan, but he is soooo in love with these!
CROCK-POT MAPLE-SAUCED PEARS
6 pears
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1/3 Cup maple sugar
1 Tablespoon butter, melted (or vegan butter)
1 teaspoon orange peel
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
2 Tablespoons juice (pear is best but can be hard to find, orange works ok if you can't get pear)
*peel pears, core from bottom, leaves stems intact; stand upright in crock
*mix ingredients (except cornstarch & juice) & pour over pears
*cook on HIGH 2-2 1/2 hours or until tender
*remove pears & place upright in serving dish
*mix cornstarch & juice, stir into sauce in crock
*cook on HIGH 10 more minutes, spoon over pears, & serve
