Ingredients
1/2 cup ruby port
3 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup dried cherries
2 ripe Bosc pears
8 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled
Honey Tips
Honey Bees Need Water
To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.
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
