Fruit Talk

We have lots of apples- and there are still plenty more on the tree. It's my father-in-law's tree but he isn't eating any. Ailz took some with her on a curtain-buying trip yesterday and handed them out to friends and family. Today I made apple sauce. I make good apple sauce. Cut apples up,  add a generous amount of fresh ginger, cook in orange juice or white wine (whichever is closer to hand), add sugar to taste (I don't add any because we're going low carb). My father-in-law also has a pear tree- and it's loaded  but not yet ready to pick.  I'm not fond of pears. I think they're bland- and I don't know of any way of fixing them I enjoy. His plum tree- which was brilliant last season and the season before- seems to have died.

I normally poach pears in red wine with a bit of sugar, and then I reduce the wine to a syrup and serve it with a spoonful of Greek yogurt. (Occasionally I add aniseed to the wine as well when I'm in the mood for it.)

But yes, like dadi said... Pears with blue cheese sauce is to die for!

That sounds good. When the pears come in I'll give it a whirl.
