Still Fascinated with Pears
We have a new favorite appetizer, which features
Cardamom Pear Butter. What is splendid about this
appetizer is that the "butter" is really a thick puree of fruit,
which pairs beautifully with sharp cheeses or cream cheese.
AND Rieslings.
You know how pears sometimes have a granular texture?
Somehow that makes me think of Rieslings and the minerality
that seem inherent in good ones. If you are lucky enough to have
access to a pear tree, here are two recipes to try.
Cardamom Pear Butter
Pair with sharp Cheddar Cheese and crackers &
Johnson Estate Freelings Creek Semi-Dry Riesling
Orange Pear Butter
Pair with cream cheese or cheesecake &
Johnson Estate's Cream Sherry
