This dessert is simple and uses another one of Autumn’s seasonal fruits, Pear. Pear is a not only a delicious fruit with a mild and sweet texture, but is a welcome change from the Apple desserts we are all used to seeing at this time of year.
Pear’s shape is reminiscent of the female form. As you slice these pears remember that you should love your curves or the curves of one you love.
