QuantityIngredient
6Ripe pears with raspberry sauce
½Lemon
2tablespoonsButter
3tablespoonsLiqueur such as Triple Sec, Cointreau or Grand Marnier
½cupStrained raspberry preserves
¼cupToasted sliced blanched almonds,; optional
Frozen yogurt or whipped cream,; optional

Directions

With a stainless steel knife, peel and core the pears. Cut them into eights. Rub them with lemon so they do not discolor. Set them aside in a covered bowl in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Saute the pears over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until they begin to brown. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pears to a serving platter. Deglaze the pan with liqueur and raspberry preserves and reduce until syrupy and thick. Spoon over the pears and garnish with almonds and frozen yogurt or whipped cream if you wish.
