March 15

How I Celebrated

Bosch pears, light whipped topping, and Nutella. What a great dish. Would recommend, would eat again. Also honey roasted peanuts. Probably could have put it all together if I wanted, but I didn't.

Diet Helpers 

• Sugar Free

  Make sure you have a chocolate sauce and ice cream that is sugar free. Poached pears need no extra sugar.

• Gluten Free

  Again, check the sauce and the ice cream. The pear is going to be fine.

• Vegetarian

  Yes!

Recipes

• Here is a recipe from Food Network
• Another from Not Enough Cinnamon
• And finally one from My Tartellette
• How about heading over to the National Peanut Board to get some recipes for peanuts?
• Or head over to a Thai spot for some peanut sauce like Peanut Sauce in WA

History

Punchbowl
I don't know if I have ever poached anything before let alone a pear, but ice cream and chocolate? Yes please!

Merchandise

I don't think pears get enough love. I love green! I love pears! Surely, I'm not alone. Market of opportunity?

Restaurants

• Fleurie in VA has pears Helene on the menu (though I can't see it, it was on instagram)
• Not many restaurants outside of France are popping up. Perhaps it is because of the many ways they can title the dessert.
• Head down to the Peanut Bar in PA
