What does Caramelized Pears Taste Like?

Sweet

Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.

Ingredients

pear

There are many varieties of pears, common ones include Anjou, Bartlett, and Comice, and many more. Pears are roughly the size of a medium to large apple, but with a very different shape. They are thin at the top and heavy at the bottom, with a round body. Pears vary slightly in shape, depending on the type; skin color varies via the same factor. Pears may be red, green, beige or golden yellow. Their skin is thin with a warm cream colored flesh, which is firm. When ripe it is softer and juicy. There is a grainy mouthfeel to the pear. The flavor and aroma is delicate and almost floral, with a hint of apple. Pears are eaten fresh and cooked.

brown sugar

Brown sugar comes from the sugar cane or sugar beet. It is less refined than white sugar, but a refined sugar nonetheless. Brown sugar varies in color from light brown to dark brown. Light brown sugar has a milder flavor and lower moisture content, than stronger tasting brown sugar. The taste is mildly like molasses and very sweet. The sugar comes in fine granules that clump together. Brown sugar is used in baked goods for its sweet flavor and ability to make cookies soft. It is also used in many savory dishes to balance flavors.

butter

Butter is made from churned cream, usually from a cow. It has a cream color and a texture that is smooth and melts easily. The flavor is mild and creamy. Butter is often sold in square sticks, or as a flat or round block. It is delicious on bread. It pairs better in baked goods than salted butter, due to its more neutral taste. It also makes an excellent cooking fat.

cinnamon ground

Ground cinnamon is a fine aromatic powder made from the bark of the cinnamon tree, also known as cassia; another variety. The bark is peeled from the tree, dried and ground into the warm brown powder that is known as cinnamon. The flavor is spicy, warm and sweet and savory at the same time. It is extremely popular in many cuisines and common in American desserts.
