(THIS IS A POST FROM A FEW YEARS AGO - Concord Pears are available right now...hope you try them!)
The art show at my daughter's high school was truly
AMAZING! The credit for this inspiring show goes to the talented artists
and one very special art teacher. The reception buffet table
included homemade baked goods and many fresh fruit items. My homemade cookies
and cakes were certainly a hit but the fresh fruit items were even more popular
with the artists and their guests!
It is important to taste all of your fruit items before
creating a fruit platter, cups of berries, or other fresh fruit
offerings. The above pears were purchased several days before the show to
make sure they had time to ripen but also not get too ripe. I love the
way these pears look and they were so delicious! This dish is so easy –
see my previous post Concord
Pears filled with Raspberries. Squeeze just a small amount of
fresh lemon juice over the surface of the pears to keep them from
browning. For all of the pears above (12) I squeezed only half of a lemon
and then spooned a little juice over each pear - and I had a little juice
leftover. I prepared these several hours before the show and stored them
in the refrigerator. So easy and what a hit!
