PEAR AND CHEDDAR FRITTERS

Steps:

• Cut 3 thin vertical slices from opposite sides of each pear; discard cores. Alternating pear and cheese slices, place 2 cheese slices between 3 pear slices for each of 8 fritters. Holding each cheese-pear sandwich firmly together, coat lightly with flour, then eggs, then breadcrumbs, coating completely and pressing crumbs to adhere.
• Pour oil into heavy large skillet to depth of 1 inch and heat to 350°F. Cook fritters in batches until golden, turning with slotted spoon, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

PEAR PASTE AND CHEDDAR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Core and chop pears, put into a saucepan with the lemon juice and half of the cores (make sure you dont have any seeds).
• Barely cover the pears with water; simmer until pears are soft.
• Puree the pears in a food processor, and return pears to a clean saucepan. Add the sugar and cook until very thick, make sure you are stirring regularly.
• Pour the mixture into a lined deep baking tray and leave to firm at room temperature. Cut into pieces and serve with cheddar cheese and water crackers.
