Fig Yogurt Puree On Pears
- 4 Anjou or Bosc pears
- 1/2 cup of dried black mission figs
- 1 1/2 cups of yogurt cheese or strained yogurt (either made by straining the yogurt overnight or purchasing Greek strained yogurt and discarding any water)
- 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon
- honey (as a garnish)
- finely crushed walnuts (as a garnish)
- 1. Stem the figs and cut them into eighths.
- 2. Chop the figs in the food processor or hand blender. Slowly add the yogurt cheese to help the food processor break up the figs. If using a high quality food processor, simply add all of the yogurt and puree until smooth.
- 3. Add the cinnamon. This puree can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- 4. Destem, halve, and core the pears. Place a large dollop of the puree on top of each half. Drizzle with some honey and top with finely crushed walnuts.
- The fig puree can also be used as a fruit dip.
