caramelized fruit

Browned sweet fruit

Caramelized fruit is fruit cooked with sugar until the sugars brown and develop a rich, slightly bitter sweetness.

The process intensifies flavor and softens texture.

Bananas, apples, pears, and pineapple are common choices: caramelized bananas over ice cream, pork chops with caramelized apples.

The technique appears in both savory dishes and desserts.
