Pears
Grilled Ginger Pear Sundaes
Pears team well with peppery and slightly sweet ginger. Make the ice cream a few days ahead for best flavour and convenience.
Cooking Time: n/a
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (500 mL) low-fat vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt, softened
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) diced crystallized ginger
- 4 large ripe but firm Ontario Pears or Peaches
- 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter, melted
- 4 tsp (20 mL) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5 mL) ground ginger
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) caramel sundae topping
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) toasted sweetened flaked coconut
Preparation:
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, carrots, onions, garlic,ginger, curry and mustard powder. Saute 5 to 7 minutes until onion begins to soften.
Cut pears in half lengthwise and core. In small bowl, mix together butter, sugar and ground ginger; brush some on cut surfaces. Place cut side down, on grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill for 2 to 3 minutes or until grill marked. Brush skin with remaining butter mixture; turn over and grill for 2 to 3 minutes or until softened. Scoop ginger ice cream onto individual plates or bowls.
Arrange 2 peach halves beside ice cream. Drizzle with caramel sauce; sprinkle with coconut. Serve immediately.
Tips: Instead of barbecuing, heat a ridged grill pan over medium heat for 5 minutes and grill as directed.
Crystallized or candied ginger and is available in the bulk section of grocery stores.
