Pear Confit with Vanilla and Candied Chestnuts Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 pears, peeled and sliced
• 1 vanilla bean, split and seeded
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup candied chestnuts, chopped

Instructions:

1. Place the sliced pears, vanilla bean, and seeds into a large saucepan.
2. Add sugar and water to the saucepan and stir everything to combine.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer once boiling.
4. Cook the mixture until the pears are tender and the liquid has become syrupy, around 30 to 40 minutes.
5. Remove the vanilla bean from the saucepan and discard.
6. Transfer the pear confit to a serving dish and sprinkle with candied chestnuts.

Serving suggestion:

Serve the pear confit with vanilla and candied chestnuts alone for a light dessert. Alternatively, it can be served with ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a more indulgent treat. Enjoy![LW1]

Verdict:

This delightful dessert perfectly balances the sweetness of the pears with the warm tones of vanilla and the crunch of the candied chestnuts. The combination works well as a stand-alone dish or as an accompaniment to your favorite ice cream[LW2] .
