Autumn Pear & Walnut Salad With Cashel Blue Dressing
A few years ago when I started my garden I dreamt of being able to go and pick pears and apples off the trees - be careful what you wish for! This year after years of waiting my trees are now weighed down and every time I pass them they speak to me…pick me please….I now have a glut of both apples and pears. This week I am giving you some recipes using pears and next week I will tackle the apples. Happy Cooking!
