Asian Pear Palate

Yesterday I discovered the Asian Pear.

It is delicious.

It looks like an apple has the texture of a radish but it tastes like the sweetest, juiciest pear you have ever had. AND they are grown right here in North Carolina.

They are delightfully delicious and refreshing, but as I was picking out the very best ones to take home and put in my lunch box, I noticed how perfectly shaped each one was.

The warm golden color and variety of sizes gave me the idea of a possible fall center piece or an overflowing bowl on my side table.

Or something even more creative like this:

I gobbled one up like an apple today but have been thinking of some more ideas of how to enjoy this fall delicacy:

What about:

2 Wheat Tortillas

1 Asian Pear Sliced

handful of fresh spinach leaves

Brie Cheese Slices

Layer

Pop in the 350 degree oven for 12-15 min

voila!

enjoy with a crisp Pinot Grigio
