Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I’ve already decided on one of my desserts. And no, it’s not Almond Praline – this Almond Praline is just one component of one of the fanciest, showstoppers of a dessert I’ve made for a while. It makes sense to go all out for a Holiday, especially when the dessert can be broken down into do-ahead components and assembled last-minute.
Roasted Pears with Lemon Cream & Maple Caramel Syrup
For once, I don’t have too much to say about a recipe – only that I became utterly enamored with the idea of this when I was leafing through a Midwest Magazine. I was wowed! Perfect for fall, perfect for Thanksgiving, and perfect for me! The recipe makes eight servings, but for these photos, I halved it.
