A stunning dessert that lets two autumn fruits—pears and persimmons—shine.

Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pears, cut side down. Tuck thyme sprigs around pears. Cook until cut sides are brown (do not turn pears over), about 3 minutes. Transfer pears to plate. Add rosé wine and wildflower honey to same skillet and boil until mixture is reduced to about 1 cup, scraping up any browned bits, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add pears, cut side up. Spoon some of juices in skillet over pears, cover skillet, and simmer until pears are tender, about 10 minutes. DO AHEAD:Pears can be made 4 hours ahead.Uncover and let stand at room temperature. Rewarm pears before continuing, if desired.
Step 2
Place 1 warm or room-temperature pear half, cut side up, on each of 6 plates. Drizzle pears with sauce from skillet. Spoon scoop of Persimmon Ice Cream alongside pears and serve.

Back to TopA delicious desert with a refined taste and appearance! I had no persimmon ice cream. So I added 1 and 1/2 light brown sugar in the syrup and served the pears with fresh cream whipped with vanilla essence. Right before serving, I added a splash of Grand Marnier in the syrup. Outstanding!

The persimmon ice cream especially, with some persimmon syrup left over as a topping was wonderful and fragrant and was new to everyone served.

I didn't had rose but I had some really yummi pears so I decided to substitute the rose with some dry sherry, and it was great!!!!! I am not a really big fan of persimmon and I think that the taste of the pears with the thyme is elaborate enough, so maybe just using plane good vanilla ice cream? Another similar recipe that I once made suggested some coarse grind black pepper too.. So 3 forks only because I think that persimmon is weird.
