Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Step 2
Core the pears, leaving the skins on.
- Step 3
Mix the sugar and butter together and spoon into the cavities.
- Step 4
On a large baking dish make eight aluminum foil ''wells'' and place a pear in each. This will stop the butter mixture from running out of the cavities. Place the baking dish in a shallow pan of water. Bake the pears one hour.
- Step 5
Place the cookies on a breadboard and crush finely, using a rolling pin or a thick glass.
- Step 6
To serve, arrange the pears in a serving dish and sprinkle with crushed amaretti. Pass the cream separately.
