Try it, but don't get disappointed if it doesn't match your childhood memories at first try.

The ones my parents had in the garden wouldn't be found in a store. They're honestly just plain bad, but they're the ones I remember most fondly.

Highly recommend pear dessert recipe my family makes on some holidays and birthdays:

Tosca butterscotch pears:

1 can (850g) preserved pears halves
100g almond shavings
50g butter
1/2 dl sugar
1/2 dl golden syrup
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp milk
Good quality vanilla ice cream

Set your oven to 200°C

Drain the pears and put them with the flatter/inner side up on an oven safe dish (DON'T get rid of the liquid from the can, it's delicious and worth saving for whatever)

Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan and bring it to a boil

Stir in the almond flakes, flour and milk

Let it simmer until it thickens

Spoon the mixture over the pears

Put the oven dish in the oven until the mixture is golden brown on top

Serve with the vanilla ice cream

(Tosca is a Swedish word used for deserts with nuts, mostly almonds, and caramel/butterscotch)
