Ingredients

1/3 cup water

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup pear liqueur or pear nectar

4 small Forelle or Bosc pears (1 lb. total)

In a small saucepan combine chocolate, water, and the 1/4 cup sugar. Melt chocolate over low heat, stirring slowly and constantly. Stir in pear liqueur or nectar. Set aside to cool slightly.

Peel pears, if desired; cut into quarters.* In a large skillet melt butter. Add pear quarters; cook over medium heat about 12 minutes or until browned and tender, turning once. Add the 2 tablespoons sugar stirring gently until sugar is dissolved and pears are glazed.
