Easy appetizer. The pears can be made ahead and frozen
Ingredients
- 6 firm pears, small diced shopping list
- 1 clove garlic, minced shopping list
- 1 cup honey shopping list

- 2 sprigs rosemary, minced / or chopped fresh thyme shopping list
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest shopping list

- 1 pound brie cheese shopping list
- 1 baguette shopping list

How to make it
- Combine pears, garlic, honey, 2 cups sugar, rosemary and lemon zest in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture becomes thick and syrupy. Adjust sugar and season to taste with freshly ground pepper.
- Cool and reserve. Can be done in advance and frozen for up to one month.
- To assemble canapé
- Thinly slice baguette into 50 pieces. Toast in 350ºF oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool and reserve.
- Remove side rind of the Brie, cut into slices 1/8 - 1/4" thick and cut slices into squares. Reserve.
- Top each slice of bread with a piece of Brie
- Just before serving, heat in 350ºF oven until warm, about 10 minutes
- Top with 1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons honey-pear preserves. Garnish with pecans.
- NOTES:
- I use the thyme instead of the rosemary I much prefer the taste. I use all of the honey amount but taste as you go with the sugar, I have never used to total amount.
