Pears are simply divine. Juicy and flavorful with very little waste. It's always surprising that they're not highlighted in more autumn dishes. We're here to change that by using pears three completely different ways.

Pear & Honey Pork Loin - butterflied pork loin, stuffed with an herbed pear, walnut, and honey filling --- basted with a maple-pear glaze. Autumn’s best.
Fruited Escarole Salad - a lesser-used but full-flavored green is the basis for this wonderful salad, accented with pears, crunchy crushed hazelnuts, and a flurry of basil.

Naked Sweet Potatoes- really! It’s all in how you make ‘em. The tastiest sweet potato that’ll ever tingle your taste buds and there's only ONE ingredient. Save the marshmallows for your hot cocoa.

Maple-Bacon Popovers - What’s not to love? A delicious sweet ‘n’ salty accompaniment to both the pork loin and the salad.

Upside Down Pear-Gingerbread Cake - awesomely autumn. Served with a boozy whipped cream.
