I really like the holiday dessert recipe I have to share with you today from Seasons 52 restaurant. I’ve had several healthy holiday recipes to share with you over the last week or so, and these pears definitely fit right in.
They’re easy to make, and even though they’ll look gourmet to your guests they won’t break your budget to create.
They would be perfect for a cozy little holiday dinner party. Guests will love the caramelized flavor of the pears. I love the idea of topping them with chutney or cranberries, it definitely adds a nice holiday touch.
