 minutes or until tender.


 


 Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine the eveaporated milk, brown sugar,


 butter, and vanilla. Cook directly on the grill ont he stovetop over medium


 heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Cook


 until the sauce is smootha nd slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Divide


 the pears among 4 plates, drizzle with the butterscotch sauce, and serve


 hot or warm.
