I’m always so excited to find local produce in my grocery store! Sometimes it’s hard to find, but when I do, I stock up! Who cares if I have no idea what to do with it, I’ll figure it out! I’ve got to take advantage while I can when it comes to local produce. I just think it’s so important to support local farmers – if we don’t, then one day, they will be harder to come by. So in one of my recent trips to the grocery store, I stumbled upon a basket of Ontario Bosc pears
I don’t mind the taste of pears, but they’re not at the top of my list for fav fruits. But like I said, I couldn’t resist buying them just because they were locally farmed. So, I dropped the basket in my cart and off I went. Once I got home, I placed the basket on my counter and thought, now what will I do with these? What could I do that would ensure they’d be gobbled up right away and without any complaints from either myself or my hubby? After much thought, and maybe it was the cool wind creeping in from outside, I decided to roast these babies and enjoy them as a special yet simple dessert.
Combining the best of autumn spices to coat these pears would make this indulgence even better! Then I remembered I had a bottle of local icewine, from Niagara to be specific – hmmm, this could be interesting. So I added a bit of it to the mix.
Pop them into the oven and…wow, did the kitchen smell amazing! And after just 40 minutes, they were ready to be devoured!
Of course after taking this picture of them with some goat’s milk vanilla bean ice cream (Woolwich Goat’s Milk Vanilla Bean Ice Cream to be exact – which by the way, they paired with really nicely!), I devoured the bowl entirely.
Can this count as dinner? Probably not, but they definitely make a special treat post dinner.
