Caramelized Pear Macerate

How to make Caramelized Pear Macerate Recipe

Ingredients:
1 Bosc pear
1 ounce simple syrup
Dash of ground nutmeg, plus extra for garnish
Dash of ground cinnamon
2 ounces cognac
1⁄8 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces heavy whipping cream

Method:
Peel the pear, core it, and cut into thin slices (save 2 of the slices for the garnish).

In a sauté pan over medium heat, sauté the pear slices with the simple syrup, nutmeg, and cinnamon until the pear slices become soft. (You may need to add additional simple syrup to prevent the pear slices from sticking to the pan.) Add the cognac and vanilla and scrape everything into a blender.

Add the cream and blend for about 5 seconds. Add about a half cup of ice and blend until smooth. Pour into a small cocktail glass. Garnish with the pear slices and a dash of nutmeg.
