We often serve this after dinner in place of a cheese course. I don't remember for certain, but I think it's a Martha recipe. Ingredients:
1 1/4 teaspoons sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon maple syrup |
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts |
4 ripe red bartlett pears, halved lengthwise, cored and cut into wedges |
8 ounces gorgonzola, dolce room temperature |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix sugar and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Saute butter and maple syrup in a large pan, and bring to a boil.
4. Remove from heat. Add nuts and toss to coat.
5. Transfer nuts to a rimmed baking sheet.
6. Sprinkle with sugar mixture. Toss to coat.
7. Toast in oven until fragrant, about 7 minutes.
8. Let nuts cool completely on sheet.
9. To serve, arrange candied nuts, pear wedges and gorgonzola on a serving platter.
