Boozy Baked Pears with Almond
These beautiful baked pears make for a delicious brunch or dessert dish and are a great way for you to use up Australian pears that are so plentiful at the moment.
This recipe received 5 stars at my house- one from each member of the household.
Delicious and nutritious it is also very easy to make (just 6 ingredients) and the end results is really special.
If you don’t have a mortar and pestle you can use a food processor or even your knife, but there is something very pleasant about the texture that is achieved with a mortar and pestle.
Plus smashing almonds is great therapy!
