Fruit and Cheese


This wasn't planned.  I was craving something sweet and had nothing in the house except some dried fruit and a questionable looking Bosc pear.  I sprinkled the raisins on top as is, but I'd change that (as follows) next time I make this to soften them a bit and create a little syrup.


1  Bosc pear per person
    crumbled strong flavored cheese
1/8-1/4 c raisins or craisins for each dessert


Put the raisins in a small pan with a little water and 1T sugar, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, a cinnamon stick. . .  Simmer a minute or two, then cover and cool a little.  Wash the pears, core, cut them in half or in big chunks into a small bowl.  Crumble the cheese on top.  When the raisins are still warm spoon over the top with the remaining syrup.  Let stand a few minutes to soften the cheese.  Pecans, slivered almonds or pine nuts would also be good on this. . .Lin
