Set your pears in a dish and sprinkle berries of your choice and a good serving of the pecan caramel sauce, I snapped this photo just as I started to plate as I was trying to hurry. (Hungry guests!) |

Look at the bowls of wonderful warm pears, hot pecan caramel sauce and blueberries with a dollop of whipped cream. Oops! snapped this photo before the pretty sprig of mint went on top. |
