I lucked into a bunch of Morton and Bassett for 99 cents each. So I found this recipe by them. Note do not slouch on the ingredients. Use the best Cardamon [and the freshest] and use only pure extract. Ingredients:
4 large pears, firm, ripe and peeled cored cut into slices |
1/2 cup sugar |
4 -6 cardamom pods |
4 teaspoons unsalted butter |
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract |
4 sheets parchment paper (24 inch x 16 inch) |
vegetable oil or pam cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Place sugar and cardamom pods in blender.
3. Process until cardamom is finely ground.
4. Combine sugar/cardamom mixture with vanilla.
5. Fold parchment in half, bringing the two short sides together. Lightly oil [or pam] each piece.
6. Divide fruit among the 4 parchments, laying fruit along the crease.
7. Divide the sugar/cardamom/vanilla among the parchments.
8. Dot each with butter.
9. Fold and crimp the edges of the parchment together to seal.
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Serve in the packet with ice cream, if you wish.
