Pear-Granola Grits

• 4 cups water
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 cup uncooked stone-ground grits
• 3/4 cup whole buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large pears
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 to 5 Tbsp. light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Crunchy granola

1. Bring water, whole milk, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Gradually whisk in uncooked grits; return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until creamy and thickened, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in buttermilk and 2 Tbsp. butter.
2. Peel and dice pears. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a small skillet over medium. Add pears, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir brown sugar and cinnamon into warm grits. Top servings with cooked pears and your favorite crunchy granola.
