Pear and Walnut Bake

I have a confession to make: I'm not really a fan of honey. As I've grown older my craving for sweet things has greatly reduced and even desserts are preferred which are only lightly sweet. So I'm definitely not one to have honey smeared on my toast in the morning. Did I mention I'm also not a bread person?

So what to do when you have access to buckets of liquid gold? You cook with it!

This Pear and Walnut Bake is so easy to prepare and oh so yummy! I made the recipe up on the fly when we were on holiday in Nelson and we were inspired to cook in the holiday house kitchen rather than eat out. With limited ingredients you make do with what's on tap.

Instructions

Simply spread olive oil on a baking dish and lay out quartered pears. Drizzle with more olive oil, a splash of white wine vinegar and glaze with honey. Sprinkle roughly broken walnuts on top. Bake in oven on a medium heat until soft: ensure you turn a few times and baste occasionally.

This is great with pork or chicken for the main meal - as demonstrated - or as dessert with cream, ice cream or custard.
