Mark Bittman, How to Cook Everything.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/4 cup sugar (or more)
2 tablespoons port wine or 2 tablespoons pear brandy
Directions:
1. Put half the butter in a large, deep skillet; turn heat to medium-high.
2. When the butter foam subsides, add the pears and cook, sprinkling with the sugar and turning occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
3. Add in the port; cook, stirring gently, until the mixture becomes saucy, just a minute or two.
4. Add in the remaining butter; turn the heat to low; cook until the butter melts and coats the pears; serve immediately.
