21 Sep pears on toast

Posted at 17:10h in lunch, recipes, supper by

Pears start looking their best as the weather makes that gloriously subtle shift from late summer to early autumn. When the golden September sun finds its way to a pear on a tree, you might get lucky and see the promise of autumn bouncing back at you from these perfectly shaped fruit. We love the dark and autumnal sweetness pears take on when baked and are also mad about pears paired with cheese, whether in a sandwich or just as part of a cheeseboard.
