I was reading Kahu's post about the orca and found that the site newspaper had great recipes. Here is one I really want to try out, minus the creme fraiche.

Serves 4

• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup water
• 100g roughly chopped hazelnuts
• 15g butter
• 2 pears, cored, cut into thick slices
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• Zest and juice of ½ lemon
• Creme fraiche to serve

1. First make the praline. In a small pot place sugar and water. Simmer until golden brown. This will take about 10 minutes. Resist stirring.

2. Place a piece of baking paper on a tin tray and sprinkle the nuts. When caramel is ready pour it over the nuts and leave to cool. Either place in a kitchen processor and blitz until chunky or cover with another piece of paper and hit gently with a rolling pin to crush.

3. Place butter in a frying pan and bring to a sizzle. Add pears and toss until lightly brown and starting to soften. Add sugar and lemon. Continue to cook for 3 or 4 minutes.

4. Serve warm or cold with a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprinkling of praline.

That sounds wonderful.

I'd make only one change...to pecans.

It sounds great - similar to Bananas Foster which was my sister's favorite dessert to make. The addition of any nuts would make it even better.
