Automn Dessert

I must confess, pears are not my favorite fruits, but any times I eat them I’m obliged to reconsider this idea.
However, they are one of the best fruits to make jams, cakes with or without chocolate and also to be cooked with aromatic herbs and spices. In this recipe I combined them with orange to prepare a simple and pleasant dessert that will be very appreciated in your autumn dinners.
 
This preparation is also suitable for other fruits such as apples or quinces.

For 6 people: 6 pears quite big , 1 orange , 8 tablespoons caster sugar, 60gr butter, 6 eggs, 250gr cream.

Peel pears and cut them into quarters. Then brown them in a pan with 60 gr of butter and 3 or 4 teaspoons of sugar. Pour the orange juice, cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Pour fruits into a baking dish .
Beat the eggs with the cream and the remaining sugar and pour this custard over fruits .
Put the dish in the oven in a hot water bath and cook for about 40 minutes at 200°C.
 
You can make more intense orange flavor perfuming the cream with some drop of Grand Marnier . Serve warm.
