Honey Tips
Honey Is Magic
In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.
Directions
In a medium saucepan bring port, honey and water to a boil. Stir in cherries. Remove from heat and let stand at room temperature for several hours or overnight.
To serve, quarter the pears lengthwise and carefully core them. Thinly slice each quarter lengthwise but leave the slices attached at the stem end. Fan out two quarters on each plate. Gently warm sauce, if desired. Spoon over pears and sprinkle each serving with 2 tablespoons of crumbled blue cheese.
Serves: 4
