Ingredients

4 medium fresh pears
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, divided
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup cold water

Directions

Slice pears into quarters; remove and discard seeds and cores.
Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add pears and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Combine brown sugar, water, and remaining 1 teaspoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until boiling. Remove from the heat and let sit until thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
