directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine sugar and butter in a small bowl and stir until well blended. Add cheese, cranberries and pecans. Stir well.
  • Cut 1 inch off stem end of each pear; reserve top. Remove core from stem end, and scoop out about 2 tablespoons pulp from each pear to form a cup, using a melon baller or spoon. If necessary, cut about 1/4 inch from base of pears so they will sit flat. Place the pears in a 13 x9 inch baking dish. Fill each pear with about 2 tablespoons sugar mixture, and replace top on each.
  • Combine juice and port in a small bowl, pour into baking dish. Bake pears at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until tender. Serve warm.

  1. Delectable and delightful, this dessert is so tasty! I made one of these, using a Stilton cheese with apricots and the rest of the ingredients listed. Made for ZWT8. Thanks Nancy's Pantry! :)
     
  2. I used an unpeeled bosc pear, and it was fabulous. I also used goat cheese instead of Stilton as I had that on hand. Also used only apple cider not apple juice and port.
