  • 4 small firm ripe pears
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 ounces imported Gorgonzola cheese (about ¼ cup)
  • 2 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons crushed walnuts, pistachio or pine nuts

    • How To Cook:
    1. With a small sharp knife, peel the pears and cut them in half lengthwise, leaving a stem attached to one of the halves of each pear.

    2. Remove the cores and scoop a scant tablespoon of pulp out of each of the pear halves.

    3. To prevent the fruit from turning brown, paint each section of pear inside and out with a pastry brush dipped in lemon juice.

    4. Cream the Gorgonzola cheese and softened butter together by beating them against the side of a small bowl with a wooden spoon until they are soft and fluffy.

    5. Fill the hollows of the pears with 1 tablespoon of the cheese-and- butter mixture and carefully press the two halves of the pear back together again.

    6. Roll the pears around in the crushed nuts, then arrange them on a serving plate. Chill for about 2 hours, or until the cheese is firm.
