Salted Caramel Pears
- 10 pears ripe, washed, dried, chilled
- 1 7/8 cups sugar about 2 cups
- 7/8 cup dark brown sugar about 1 cup
- 2/3 cup butter about 2/3 cup
- 2/3 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract real
- Mix all ingredients together (except the fruit) in a deep saucepan. Cook over medium high heat until the butter melts and temperature on a candy or laser thermometer reaches 246 degrees (119 celcius). Stir constantly toward the end of the cooking period to prevent scorching. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Dip fruit into caramel mixture and twist until evenly covered. Roll in nuts or sugar. Drain on waxed paper or a silicone baking sheet. Refrigerate. Consume pears within a few hours. Leftover caramel can be refrigerated and defrosted in the microwave for dipping fruit slices or served with the tart.
