The caramel maple pears recipe prep time: 15 minutes start to finish: 2 hours 45 minutes 6 servings

Ingredients:
6 yellow- or red-skinned pears, cored from bottom leaving stems attached
1 cup caramel ice cream topping
1⁄3 cup real maple syrup
Grated lemon peel

Method:
1 Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place pears upright in cooker. (If all pears do not fi t in bottom of cooker, place remaining pears suspended between 2 others in cooker.)

2 In small bowl, mix ice cream topping and syrup; pour over pears.

3 Cover; cook on High heat setting 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes.

4 Remove pears from cooker; place upright on serving plate or in individual dessert dishes.

5 Spoon about 1⁄4 cup topping mixture over each pear; sprinkle with lemon peel.

This elegant dessert is stunning all by itself, or you can add an additional layer of flavor by stirring in 1⁄2 cup raisins or orange-flavored dried cranberries with the ice cream topping. Drizzle a little cream over the sauce that falls onto the plate, if you like.
