In the kitchen with Kelley: Maple-glazed pears with cinnamon and walnuts
 
Ingredients
  • 2 pears, peeled, quartered and cored
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup of walnuts, crumbled
  • cinnamon, to taste
Instructions
  1. Pour the maple syrup into a medium skillet. (I use an iron skillet.) There should be enough syrup to just cover the bottom of the pan.
  2. Turn the heat to medium and warm the syrup.
  3. Add the butter and stir until mostly melted.
  4. Place the pears in the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  5. Simmer, turning the pears every few minutes, until the syrup and butter mixture becomes thick and the pears turn dark, about 10 minutes. You may have to lower the heat as the syrup reduces.
  6. Add the walnuts and cook until the liquid is very thick but still pourable, another 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pears to a plate and drizzle with the sauce, walnuts and more cinnamon, if you like.
