In a frying pan on med heat add a decent sized pat of butter and swirl it around to cover the bottom of the pan. Add some thinly sliced pears and allow them to cook in the butter until softened slightly and they just start to brown. Add a few pinches of sugar and pour in enough basalmic vinegar to evenly coat the pear slices. Allow to simmer a few minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid thickens a little.

Serve these over vanilla ice cream, pound cake or over puff pastry that you've cut into small squares and baked with some sugar dusted on them.

It sounds weird to mix vinegar and pears, but it is absolutely delicious and seems very fancy in comparison to how little time it takes to prepare them....Show more

I love the recipe I saw on demo today.
chocolate bundles by Paula
first she bought chocolate dove pieces
then she cut philo sheets into four.
Then she mixed two eggs with heavy cream
and beat.She brushed the philo with this
and it the middle of each square put about
three to four pieces of candy.
Then she brought the four corners up like little purses or bundles.
Then brushed them with the egg mixture.
Put them into a preheated 350 degree F oven
for about ten minutes until the puff browns and cocolate melts.
In the meantime heat some heavy cream up and melt some chocolate into it.
Prepare plate with a circle of chocolate cream
set the cute little bunde in the middle.
Cut it in half and open it up and inbetween the pieces put some whipped cream.Garnish with a big strawberry and drizzle some of the melted chocolate cream sauce over it.It looks so cute....Show more

For fancy, you can buy a sponge cake and put it in the bottom of a round casserole or somesuch, layer it with cut fruit and whipped cream (a trifle),

Or make dessert pizza; squish a roll of store bought sugar cookie dough into the bottom of a pizza pan and cook it...mix a package of cream cheese with a small jar of marshmallow fluff and spread it on (after the cookie is cool) and cover with cut fruit.

In other words, cut fruit is easy and looks impressive on stuff....Show more
