Okay, a new year means low calorie and healthy foods. But what can I make that is a dessert? I think for many of you, THIS is what you have been waiting for.
My wife had purchased some sugar pears at SAMS, 2 weeks ago and as they were starting to get soft, I had an idea. I was first going to make a tart, then decided to make a jam, but finally rested on the idea from a Gordan Ramsay book. This recipe was simple and I made some changes. I took the rest of these pears, sliced them up in large chunks and then put them in a bowl and coated them with the powdered Stevia my wife and I found at Dierburgs. The stuff acts just like regular powdered sugar, except it has 0 calories. So, we have sweet sugar pears coated with fake powdered sugar and into a pan with a splash of olive oil they went. I cooked them to make them softer and try to infuse the sweetness into everything. I finished by adding a dash of some Moscato wine and then about a cup of blackberries.
All-in-all, it made a delightfully delicious dessert with the only calories coming from the little bit of extra virgin olive oil, the wine that didn't cook out, the pears and blackberries.
