Pears are the flavor of fall, available year round but not even close to the same fruit you will find in the fall. They come
into their own and can take over a salad with such aplomb you'll wonder why you never noticed them before - alas, they've simply entered their time. For Local produce seasons and other ideas see our
Inspirations
Try Wedges of Pears wrapped in Prosciutto instead of the traditional melon, Pear Nectar Mimosas, Pears in Salad of Winter Greens with Blue Cheese and a good Tempranillo Wine or a
Savory Pear and Stilton Tart with a Walnut-Pepper Crust. I leave for Europe in a few days and I can't wait for relaxing fall picnics following the local outdoor markets. A simple combination of pears, cheeses, breads and wine....ummmmm
