Category   Breakfast - Brunch
Sub Category   None

Ingredients
125 g soft brown sugar
300 ml dry cider
500 ml of red wine
100 ml cider vinegar
12 cloves and 1 cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves2 bay leaves
Pared zest and juice of half a lemon
#3 hard round pears
For the Pate:-
 
40 g walnut halves
50 g blue stilton, crumbled
25 g unsalted butter, softened
100 g cream cheese
˝ tbsp lemon juice
50 g grated parmesan
50 g grated parmesan
For the dressing- * 3 tbsp of double cream * 1 tbsp of cider vinegar * 2 tbsp of lemon

Instructions
To cook the pears, place the sugar, cider, red wine, vinegar, spices, bay leaves, lemon juice and zest in a large pan with 300 ml of water. Bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Peel the pears and cut in half lengthways through the stalk. Use a teaspoon or melon ball scoop to scoop out the core. Add the pear halves to the poaching liquid, then cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until tender, turning half-way through.
Lift the pears out carefully as they will be very soft, allow them to cool and place in the fridge. 6 walnuts for garnish, sealed in a container, and roughly chop the remainder.
Blend the stilton, butter, cream cheese and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth. Stir in the chopped walnuts and chill in the fridge until needed. When ready to serve, divide the salad leaves onto eight plates. Make the dressing by whisking the cream, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard and milk together and drizzle over the salad leaves.
Serving Suggestions
Place a drained pear half on each plate, then spoon the pâté into the centre of each pear. Decorate each with a walnut half.
