NameThe Perfect Caramel Pecan Pie
CuisineFusion
Prep Time15 minutes
Cooking Time60 minutes
Total Time1 hour and 25 minutes
Servings8 servings
Yield1 (9-inch) caramel pecan pie

Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

Prepare the Pie Crust

If you’re using a store-bought pie crust, follow the package instructions for pre-baking. If you prefer homemade, roll out your pastry and place it in a pie dish. Crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Make the Caramel Filling

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Once it starts to boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together. Gradually add this mixture to your slightly cooled caramel filling, stirring constantly to combine everything thoroughly.

Arrange the Pecans

Place the pecan halves in the pre-baked pie crust. You can arrange them in a decorative pattern or simply sprinkle them evenly over the crust.

Pour the Caramel

Carefully pour the caramel filling over the pecans. The pecans will naturally rise to the top as the pie bakes.

Bake the Pie

Place your pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the filling is set. You can check the pie’s doneness by giving it a gentle jiggle; it should only have a slight wobble in the center when it’s done.

Cool and Serve

Once your caramel pecan pie is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. It’s best to allow it to cool for a few hours or even overnight, as this allows the flavors to meld.

Serve your caramel pecan pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence. The blend of the sweet, nutty caramel with the buttery pecans in the flaky pie crust is nothing short of heavenly.

NameHomemade Pear Sauce Canning Recipe
CuisineFusion
Prep Time20 minutes
Cooking Time50 minutes
Total Time50 minutes
Servings10 cups of pear sauce
Yield10 half-pint (8 oz) canning jars of pear sauce

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds of ripe pears (about 12-15 pears)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for color and flavor)

Equipment

  • Large stockpot or canning pot
  • Canning jars with lids and bands
  • Water bath canner
  • Canning tools (jar lifter, canning funnel, bubble remover)
  • Ladle
  • Kitchen towels
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Potato masher or immersion blender

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Pears

Wash and peel the pears. Remove the cores and stems, then chop them into small chunks.

Step 2: Cook the Pears

In a large stockpot, combine the chopped pears and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-30 minutes or until the pears are soft and can be easily mashed.

Step 3: Blend and Season

Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to puree the cooked pears until smooth. If desired, add sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to taste, and stir well. Keep the pear sauce hot on low heat.

Step 4: Prepare Your Canning Equipment

While the pear sauce is simmering, prepare your canning jars, lids, and bands. Wash them in hot, soapy water, and sterilize them by placing them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Keep the jars warm until you’re ready to fill them.

Step 5: Fill the Jars

Using a canning funnel, ladle the hot pear sauce into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top. Remove air bubbles by running a bubble remover or a clean butter knife around the inside of the jar.

Step 6: Seal the Jars

Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth to ensure a proper seal. Place the sterilized lids on top and screw on the bands until they’re fingertip tight.

Step 7: Process the Jars

Place the filled jars in a water bath canner, making sure they are covered with at least 1-2 inches of water. Bring the water to a boil, then process the jars for 15 minutes to ensure they’re sealed properly.

Step 8: Cool and Store

Carefully remove the jars from the canner using a jar lifter and place them on a clean towel or a wooden surface. Allow them to cool completely. You’ll hear a satisfying “pop” as the lids seal.

Step 9: Enjoy

Store your homemade pear sauce in a cool, dark place for up to a year. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within a few weeks. Use your pear sauce as a topping, a filling, or a flavorful ingredient in various recipes.

Canning homemade pear sauce is a rewarding and delicious way to preserve the flavors of ripe pears. With a little effort, you can enjoy the sweet and aromatic taste of pears year-round. Experiment with different spices and flavorings to make your pear sauce uniquely yours. Happy canning and enjoy your homemade pear sauce!
