HONEY-ROASTED PEARS WITH BLUE CHEESE AND WALNUTS RECIPE - (4.1/5)
Provided by á-2825
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut the pears in half, then slice a thin sliver from the rounded side of each half so the pears can rest flat. Scoop out the core of each pear half with a melon baller. It doesn't have to be pretty, as you will later be filling the cavities with cheese and nuts. Pour the melted butter into a 9"x13" baking dish. Whisk in the honey and sugar. Arrange the pears, cut side down, on top of the honey-sugar mixture. Roast the pears until they are tender, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium dry skillet, lightly toast the chopped walnuts over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they are fragrant, lightly browned in spots and softly hissing. Remove to a plate to cool. Remove the pears from the oven and gently flip them, cut side up. Baste the pears with the honey syrup and return them to the oven for 10 minutes. Remove the pears again and fill each cavity with a generous tablespoon of blue cheese. Return the pears to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes more. To serve, spoon some of the caramelized syrup onto serving plates, set the warm pear halves on top and sprinkle with toasted walnuts. Any leftovers can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days and reheated in the microwave.

APPLES WITH HONEY AND CRUSHED WALNUTS
Tradition is a beautiful thing, unless it requires you to make something you don't enjoy making or eating. For me, that's charoset. Classically, it's an apple-walnut mixture (occasionally including a touch of cinnamon or dried fruit, or a combination) that ranges from chunky-relish to chunky-paste, and it's never been my favorite thing on the table. I've always wanted it tangier, crunchier and, well, I wanted a salad. This is that salad. It's meant to be more acidic than sweet, but adjust with vinegar and honey as needed to suit your preference. A note: Nearly everyone who ate this salad said it was their favorite part of the whole meal, which bruised my matzo ball ego, but I thought you should know.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spread walnuts in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast walnuts until golden brown and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. (You can also do this in a toaster oven.) Let cool. Using your hands or a knife if you like, crush or finely chop walnuts. Set aside.
- Thinly slice apples (with a mandoline or a sharp knife) any way you please. (Rounds are excellent if you don't mind eating the edible core.) Scatter the slices onto a large serving platter or bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar over apples, and season with salt and pepper; give them a little toss and drizzle with 2 tablespoons honey. Taste an apple slice and adjust seasoning with more vinegar or honey, as needed. Sprinkle with walnuts, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil, flaky salt and pepper.

FRESH FIGS WITH STILTON AND WALNUTS IN A HONEY DRIZZLE DRESSING
A new fig recipe for this year! Similar to my Recipe #250866 but with blue cheese and a honey drizzle dressing. I like to tuck a few fig leaves amongst the salad for colour........but please do wipe them first! Serve these figs with crusty bread, some mixed herb and salad leaves.......and a glass of chilled wine. Quantities for figs depend on the size; allow one or two large figs per person or, between three and six for medium to small figs.This makes a fabulous dinner party starter, or a light salad for lunch..........I sometimes serve this for the cheese course too, for something a little different.

Steps:
- Toasted Walnuts:.
- In a large, heavy frying pan, over a high heat, toast the walnuts for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove and set aside to cool.
- Honey Drizzle Dressing.
- Put the vinegar and a good pinch of salt and black pepper in a screw-top jar and shake until the salt has dissolved. Add the honey and walnut oil, then shake again to emulsify - the emulsion will hold for ten minutes or so, but give it another jiggle just before you use it to dress the salad.
- Salad:.
- Wipe the fresh figs gently, and cut them in half. Arrange them on a large platter, OR on individual plates - allowing 4 to 5 fresh figs per person, depending on the size.
- Sprinkle 1 to 1 1/2 ozs of crumbled or sliced blue cheese per person, over the top of the fresh figs.
- Scatter the chopped,toasted walnuts over the fig salad.
- Just before serving, drizzle the honey dressing over the salad, and garnish each plate with 1 - 2 fresh fig leaves if available.
- Serve with crusty bread and butter and mixed herb and salad leaves.
- Can also be served as a dessert/cheese course combined.

FIG AND HONEY JAM WITH WALNUTS
I recently made a meat and cheese board for my family and wanted to make a jam/preserve with it that we normally wouldn't have. Figs came to mind and, after searching around a little and getting a few ideas, I came up with this. It was such a huge hit that I decided to share it. I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as we did! It will last for up to 30 days if you do not can it.

Tips:
- Choose the right walnuts: Use fresh, plump walnuts for the best flavor and texture. Avoid walnuts that are shriveled or have dark spots.
- Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts brings out their nutty flavor and makes them more crispy. You can toast walnuts in a pan over medium heat, in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or in a microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- Use good quality honey: The type of honey you use will affect the flavor of the walnuts. Choose a honey that you enjoy the taste of. You can use a light, mild honey or a darker, more robust honey.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the walnuts in the honey, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the walnuts from cooking evenly.
- Cook the walnuts until they are golden brown: The walnuts should be cooked until they are golden brown and caramelized. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Let the walnuts cool before serving: Once the walnuts are cooked, let them cool slightly before serving. This will help them to harden and become crispy.
Conclusion:
Honey walnuts are a delicious and versatile snack or topping. They can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads, yogurt, or oatmeal, or used as a topping for desserts. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious honey walnuts at home.
