Sautéed Pears with Mascarpone
The other night while watching TV I came across a Jacques Pepin show and in it he made this rather simple dessert. His take was to put whipped cream cheese on top, I thought that the mascarpone would be a great substitution.
Ingredients for Sautéed Pears with Mascarpone
- 1 can of pears packed in juice
- 1½-2 Tbsps butter
- 2-3 Tbsps Apricot preserves
- Mascarpone
Directions for Sautéed Pears with Mascarpone
In a sauté pan large enough to hold the pears in a single layer place about ½ the juice from the can of pears with the butter and apricot preserves, bring up to a medium to medium high heat.
Place the pears flat side up into the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes. Occasionally stir the sauce to combine all the ingredients as they melt. Turn the pears over and cook for another 5 minutes until they are tender and sauce is quite thick.
Remove from the heat, you can either allow to cool slightly and serve or chill and serve later.
To serve place the pears on a plate carefully spoon the mascarpone into the pear center and spoon the sauce over the top.

Not too bad, sweet pears are sort of like apples and the cheese was quite good. 5 paws
