This Blog Is Officially Closed!

I never knew who all were really reading this blog, but regardless I love posting up new recipes. I have no clue if anyone has ever tried any of the recipes either, lol.

First of all, I appreciate my one follower Calin Durus. Thanks you Calin for your support and love! Secondly, I want to thank all my commentors. Thanks for commenting and giving your views. It had me aware that someone is reading, lol.

I manage 5 blogs and I think it's time to make my life a littler more simpler especially now that I'm on youtube. So I am getting rid of the blogs that I believe are the least effective.

If you need or want recipes, just go to Kraftfoods.com or essence.com (then go to recipes).
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year.

It was fun doing this blog and I enjoyed it. However it's time to say good-bye!

Thanks again,

Boozy Baked Pears With Ginger and Brown Sugar

















COOK TIME
1 Hour

PREPARATION TIME
20 Minutes

INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup brandy or apple cider
1/2 cup raisins, golden and regular
1/4 cup crystallized ginger
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup water
¾ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoon butter
6 item Bosc pears, peeled, cut in half and cored

PREPARATION
Place first five ingredients in a small saucepot. Heat until warmed through, swirl the pan to coat the dried fruit, and set aside to soak. Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, crumble the butter into the mixture until it forms a slightly moist crumb topping. Fill each pear with some of the mixture. Place the pears in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; pour the brandy mixture evenly over the pears. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 375°F. Uncover, gently flip the pears upside down—it's fine if some of the mixture falls out of the center. Bake for an additional 30 minutes. Transfer the pears to serving bowls; spoon the juices and fruit over. For added flair, serve each pear with a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt or sprinkle ¾ cup of chopped walnuts on top.
