Steps:
- Cut the pear quarters into thin slices and toss in a bowl with the lime juice to help protect their natural colour. Blend the crème fraîche with half the stilton, ginger syrup to taste, and enough water (3-4 tbsp) to give a smooth, thick coating consistency. (Don't add too much water or it may separate.)
- Scatter the pear slices over six serving plates and follow with the walnuts, dates and remaining cheese. Can be prepared to this stage up to an hour ahead.
- Drizzle each salad with a little of the dressing and some walnut oil. Season with a grinding of pepper - you shouldn't need salt, as the cheese is salty. Mix the salad leaves and watercress very lightly with just a bit more dressing - some leaves should be touched by the dressing, some untouched. Gently pile the leaves on top of each salad.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe pears. You can tell if a pear is ripe by gently pressing on the neck. If it gives slightly, it's ripe.
- To toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
- Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will help prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- For the cream cheese frosting, use softened cream cheese. This will make it easier to mix and spread.
- Add the cucumber and dill to the frosting just before serving. This will help keep them fresh and prevent them from wilting.
Conclusion:
These cupcakes are a delicious and unique combination of flavors. The salty Stilton cheese pairs perfectly with the sweet pears and toasted walnuts. The cream cheese frosting is light and fluffy, and the cucumber and dill add a refreshing touch. These cupcakes are perfect for any occasion, from a casual party to a special dinner.
