  1. Yummy! These were so simple and my company loved them. I used D'anjou pears and simmered them about 25 minutes. Used a commercial caramel sauce this time, but will make one from scratch next time. One was topped with chocolate sauce that was good too. Sorry, no photo this time. We ate these while watching fireworks and it was too dark for photos. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
