Step by step recipe

1	Prepare the pears Peel 1 kg Pears, cut into quarters and remove the core. Cut into small pieces.
2	Melt 50 g butter in a large frying pan on high heat, then add 75 g caster sugar.
3	When this is well mixed, add the diced pears. Mix briefly, then leave to caramelize on high heat. Note: You will notice that the pears give off quite a lot of juice as they cook, which slows down the caramelization.
4	Stir from time to time so that the pears colour evenly. Take off the heat as soon as they are nicely coloured.
5	Prepare 400 g Paris flan filling. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
6	Divide the diced pears between the buttered ramekins.
7	Cover with the custard.
8	Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
9	Enjoy either warm or cold.
