For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sugar before sprinkling it over the pears. Pears are best served warm, either on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of mascarpone cheese. Feel free to experiment with different types of pears, such as Anjou or Bartlett, depending on your preference and availability. If you don't have amaretto liqueur on hand, you can substitute with a teaspoon of almond extract for a similar flavor profile.
