Caramelized Pears with Pomegranate (paleo, AIP, vegan)

Burnished and sweet with a glistening sheen

Joyfully neat until heat melts the cream

Evoking treats much more rich and unclean

Lightly toasted,

Carefully roasted,

Lovingly hosted,

Never composted

Instructions

1. Peel and core pears.
2. Cook oil/fat together with sweetener over low-medium heat in a flat-bottomed pan. When mixture begins to simmer/bubble, add pears.
3. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until pears are caramelized on bottom (watch mixture carefully to make sure it doesn't burn/stick, may need to stir every so often).
4. Plate pears and garnish with pomegranate seeds, crème anglaise, mint, and/or ice cream/extra caramel sauce from pan. Serve warm.
