Poached Sugar Pears

Classic and simple delicious fall dessert...

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 spoon vanilla extract
4-6 sugar pears
1/3 cup ground walnut
1/2 or 1 small tea spoon cinnamon

Directions
Bring the sugar and water to boil in a saucepan over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add vanilla extract or vanilla bean. Wash, core and peal the pears leaving the steams attached. Place in the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer the pears turning them occasionally about 20-25 minutes until tender. Using a spoon transfer to a dish and let cool.

Baked Golden Nugget

I love baking or cooking with seasonal produce. On Fall and Winter season one of my favourite produces are squashes, so many great choices here in Ontario. I really like simple made foods and what's more delicious than caramelized honey baked squash. My favourite baked golden nugget or baked butternut squash... This weekend I made baked and caramelized golden nugget squash.

Ingredients
1 gold nugget squash
2-4 tablespoons white or brown sugar
1 pinch cinnamon
honey

Directions
Wash the squash, cut in half lengthwise, and scrape out seeds and string portion.
Cut lengthwise in desired portions and arrange squash pieces in a baking dish. Sprinkle each squash with a pinch of cinnamon and 2-4 tablespoons sugar. Pour boiling water into the pan to a depth of 1 inch. Bake in a 400F one for 30-40 minutes, or until squash is tender and a bit caramelized. Serve warm or cold. drizzle with honey (optional)

Enjoy!
