Recipe: Eggers Can't Be Choosers Burger

Attempting to put a meal together one night that I had ZERO prep for. (Long day at work, you know the days)

For quick meals, I had frozen burger patties... With an English muffin being the closest thing to bread I could find.

All of a sudden I had this memory that the Bob's burger cook book had a burger using an English muffin as the bun and that could be an exciting way to jazz up a frozen burger. 

Sure enough I found the Eggers Can't Be Choosers Burger from season 3 episode 11 of Bob's Burgers.

Made a few adjustments and voila! It was a tasty but quick dinner.

The finished burger looks boring but I assure you it was tasty. 

Only thing I wish I did differently was more siracha sauce (only hot sauce I had) as it got lost in against the other flavors. But notes for next time will hopefully trigger that memory.

Pear and Caramel Liquor Syrup

The pear tree I planted at my parent’s place around 2010 is doing amazing things which meant I had an entire crisper full of ripe pears.

Eating them simple wasn’t working, they were getting so ripe they weren’t solid anymore… Which meant it was time to get creative.

Pulled out the canning recipe book and decided on a Pear Armaretto Sauce.. Except I had no Armaretto so settled for a local Caramel Liquor that has been in the cabinet.

Yes I write in my cook books.

Some adjustments were made to the recipe …

The taste: Delicious. Despite the 3 cups of sugar in this recipe its has a light and fresh feel and the pears can still be tastes through the sugar and caramel liquor.

Absolutely delicious on ice cream

The texture: Small pear bits remain from the food processor which is a nice reminder that fresh fruit was used.

The smell: Really not strong at all which was surprising with the liquor.

All and all very pleased with this experiment and looking forward to trying it on more things! Next up I think will be plain yogurt.
