Tricia ordered a case of organic pears from Azure Standard Co-op. It is the craziest thing because she doesn't like apples. I think pears and apples are similar. We made quick work of the first case and then she ordered a second one. Just the other day IN THIS POST we made some homemade cream cheese. It was very simple to make.
We use cream cheese to make cheesecake, dips and lo and behold, Tricia found another recipe for a simple, yet healthy and delicious snack. For starters, take a pear and cut out the seeds and stem.
Then in the blender, she combined mostly homemade cream cheese with a dash or three of goat kefir to make it a thick, liquid consistency. Then she dunks the cut up pears into the cream cheese/goat kefir concoction to coat the pear.
In a separate container, she has run some of our 2015 pecan crop through a blender to chop the pecans into semi-fine crumbles. She drags the cream cheese/kefir coated pears through the pecans and the pecans stick nicely to the pear.
And she does likewise for the remaining pieces of the pear, arranging them on a plate for viewing and then snacking.
This simple recipe came from Southern Living Magazine, but Tricia changed it up a little bit.
The sweetness of the pears contrasted against the tanginess of the kefir and smooth cream cheese and flavorful pecans. Yeah, this recipe is a keeper!
