Food Tip
Cranberry and Fresh Pear Cobbler
- 1 medium orange
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tsp honey
- 1/2 ripe pear (Bosc or firm variety)
- 1/2 cup + 2 TBS lightly roasted walnuts
Directions:
- Grate enough orange rind to make 1 tsp zest and place in a mixing bowl.
- Cut the orange in half and juice both halves into the same bowl as the rind.
- Add the cranberies and honey. Mix until the honey is dissolved. Let sit for 1/2 hour to allow cranberries to soften.
- After the cranberries have softened, cut the pear into 1/4-inch cubes and add to the bowl. Add 1/2 cup lightly roasted walnuts.
- Divide the mixture into 2 dessert dishes and sprinkle each with 1 TBS of the chopped walnuts.
*Use organic oranges, if possible, to avoid wax coating.
Preparation Tip: Enjoy this dish right away, before the pear starts to brown.
