Directions:
- Blue Cheese and Pears
- Blue cheese and pears have been a favorite of my familys for a long time. It is a popular combo we have out when we are enjoying a nice bottle of wine. Instead of having guests serve the cheese and pears separately I thought it would be nice to include them together in one dainty bite. I added the candied walnut as an extra bonus on top! It reminds me a delicious salad Ive had with all three ingredientssuch a great combination. If you wish, drizzle with balsamic vinegar to finish off this scrumptious appetizer recipe. The pears are best if you serve them on an ice cold tray. I do recommend chilling one and then keeping it over ice when you put these appetizers out.
- Blue Cheese Pears with Candied Walnuts
- Ripe pears
- Wedge blue cheese crumbled
- Candied walnuts (recipe follows)
- Slice pears in 1/4 inch slices and then half those, cutting off area were the seeds are. Sprinkle a few crumbles on each slice. Press a piece of candied walnut on one of the crumbles. Serve as is or drizzle lightly with balsamic vinegar.
- Candied Walnuts
- /2 cup sugar
- /2 cups raw walnut halves
- /8 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread walnuts out on a baking sheet and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. Walnuts should be nicely toasted but not burned. Set aside to cool.
- Place sugar in small sauce pan and turn to medium heat. Stir sugar with wooden spoon until it is completely melted and a light yellowish/brown color. Quickly add all the walnuts and stir them around to coat.
- Spread the walnuts out on wax paper, quickly separate the walnuts with two forks before they cool. Sprinkle the walnuts with salt and cool completely.
