Makes: 12
Preparation time: 30 minutes
What You’ll Need:
- 3 slices white, medium sliced bread
- 1 small pear
- 4 tablespoons bottlegreen spiced berry cordial
- 100g cranberries
- 50g stilton
- 2 tablespoons double cream
- Handful of rocket leaves
What To Do:
- Toast the bread on one side, remove the crusts, cut horizontally through the middle and halve. Each slice will give you four triangles, 12 in total. Grill the remaining side until golden and curled, taking care not to burn the corners.
- Cut the unpeeled but cored pear into 12 slices.
- Place the cranberries and bottlegreen spiced berry cordial into a small saucepan, heat until the cranberries have softened, add the pear slices, continue to cook gently for a few minutes until just softened, cool.
- Place the stilton in a bowl, add the cream and mash together with a fork. Divide the mixture between the toasts, top with a pear slice and a spoonful of cranberries, and finish with a rocket leaf.
