Baked Pears with Caramel Sauce

- 2 pears

- 8-10 teaspoon sugar (brown or white, whatever is preferred)

- 1/4 stick of butter (I use Imperial)

- few tablespoon of Marsala

Peel pears, cut in half and remove core. Put cut side down into a spray coated baking pan.

Add 2-3 thin slices of butter on top of each pear, as well as 2 -3 teaspoon of sugar. Top with a little Marsala, maybe 2 shotglasses. If desired you can also add a few tablespoon og whipping cream, it will make the sauce a bit thicker. I left it out in the picture above.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake 40 minutes for a firm pear (recommended) or 20 minutes for a ripe pear. I loosely covered mine with foil for half the baking time.

Sprinkle with a little cinnamon if desired
