Directions
To make honey walnuts: Butter a small cookie sheet.
Melt butter and honey in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add walnuts.
Cook, stirring often for 5 minutes until walnuts start to carmelize.
Spread nut mixture on cookie sheets to cool.
To make minted pears: Bring water to boiling in a large saucepan.
Remove from heat.
Add teabags and ½ cup honey, stirring to dissolve honey.
Cover and steep for 5 minute.
Peel pears, leaving stems intact.
Rub each with lemon juice to prevent discoloring.
Remove tea bags from tea.
Bring tea to a simmer. Add pears.
Cover and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes until tender.
Time depends on the ripeness and size of the pears.
To serve: Pears may be served hot or cold in poaching syrup.
