In This Recipe
Directions
  1. Labneh and fruit
  2. Mix yogurt, lemon juice and salt thoroughly. Place strainer over a bowl and drape with cheese cloth, place yogurt mixture into the cheese cloth and fold over so the yogurt is covered. Refrigerate 12-24 hours. At 12 hours the labneh will be somewhat firm and spreadable and at 24 hours it will be even thicker. It’s wonderful either way.
  3. Preheat oven to 375 degree’s. Butter a rectangular baking dish and place pears and grapes in the dish.Drizzle the honey on the fruit and bake uncovered for 30-45 minutes, the fruit should be tender. Remove from oven. Place walnuts on baking sheet and toast in the oven at 375 for 15 minutes approximately, you will know they are done when you can smell the walnuts be careful and watch the nuts they can burn quickly.
  1. Honey Thyme Syrup
  2. Add the honey, juice from the fruit and thyme sprigs to a small saucepan and simmer gently for a few (5)minutes, remove thyme sprig and remove from heat. If your fruit does not give off 1/4 cup of juice substitute another type of juice or water . You will need approximately 1/2 cup of the syrup. Garnish with pomegranate arils if you like;

I have loved to cook for as long as I can remember, am self taught learning as I go. I come from a large Italian family and food was at the center of almost every gathering. My grandfather made his own wine and I remember the barrels of wine in the cellar of my grandfathers home, I watched my mother and aunts making homemade pasta and remember how wonderful it was to sit down to a truly amazing dinner. Cooking for me is a way to express myself its my creative outlet. I enjoy making all types of food but especially enjoy baking, I live in Brooklyn, NY, and I share my home with my two dogs Izzy and Nando. I like to collect cookbooks and scour magazines and newspapers for recipes. I hope one day to organize them.

This looks AMAZING! I love roasted fruits and nuts in a dessert and I think the pear, grape and walnut combination is awesome! I would run to the kitchen to make this; if only my newborn would let me be in the kitchen for more than 10 minutes! :)
