Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons honey
2 red-skinned pears, such as Bartlett, halved lengthwise, cored, and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
12 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more sprigs and chopped fresh thyme, for garnish
1 pound grapes, preferably Concord Focaccia, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat 3 tablespoons honey in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling and thickened, about 2 minutes. Add pears to skillet; transfer to the oven. Bake 10 minutes. Turn pears over using tongs, and sprinkle with 6 of the thyme sprigs. Add grapes to skillet. Bake until pears are golden and caramelized, about 15 minutes more. Discard thyme sprigs.
  • Heat remaining 1/4 cup honey and 6 thyme sprigs in a small saucepan until honey has reduced and thickened; discard thyme sprigs. Spoon pear mixture over the focaccia; drizzle with honey from saucepan, and garnish with the chopped thyme and more sprigs. Cut into squares for serving.

This bread was a delight! The combination of roasted red pears, grapes, and thyme was simply divine. The bread itself was soft and fluffy, with a slightly crispy crust. I'm definitely adding this recipe to my favorites.
