PEAR SALAD WITH HONEY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, toss the bread cubes, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Place on a half sheet tray and toast for 20 minutes.
• Assemble the salad in a large bowl with the pecans, lettuce, pears and croutons. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the honey, lemon juice and some salt and pepper in a Mason jar and shake.

ASIAN PEAR SALAD WITH TAMARI PECANS AND MAYTAG BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Place the pear vinegar and pear syrup in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the lemon-o and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the greens, tamari pecans, and currants. Sprinkle over with the blue cheese, then drizzle over with the dressing. Toss the salad gently and briefly, as you do not want the cheese crumbles to begin sticking together. Divide the salad onto the center of 2 chilled salad plates and garnish by fanning the pear slices around each salad.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the tamari and molasses. Season, to taste, with salt and cayenne pepper. Toss with the pecans until they are well coated. Transfer the pecans onto a kitchen towel and allow to briefly drain. Roast the pecans on an icing rack until the pecans are fairly dry and toasted. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Chop the pecans into 1/4-inch pieces.

SLOW-BAKED HONEY WINE PEARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Peel the pears from top to bottom, leaving the stem intact, and lay them in a lidded oven-proof dish just large enough to hold them. Bring the wine and honey to a boil, cover the pears with the liquid, and transfer to the oven. Bake until very tender, 4 to 5 hours, turning now and again. Gently remove the pears to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon. Boil the liquid rapidly until reduced to syrup, about 20 minutes. Pour the syrup over the pears and reserve at room temperature for several hours, or cover and refrigerate until about an hour before serving. Serve with whipped cream which you've sweetened with a little sugar and flavored with Cognac.
