Pear, stilton and walnut is a classic combo. This brilliant, show-stopping Christmas starter can be made ahead and enjoyed hot or cold. Spread a layer of Collection Fig, Apple and Balsamic Fruit onto the buttery pastry, and top with British sweet and crunchy pears, roasted until perfection. Scatter with plenty of tangy stilton, then drizzle over our sweet and complex Zambian honey, spiked with crunchy walnuts.

Method

Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/gas mark 4. Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper.
step 2
On a lightly floured (1 tbsp) surface, roll out the pastry (1) into a rectangle, roughly 35cm x 28cm and 1cm thick. Transfer to the lined baking tray.
step 3
Leaving a 5cm border, thinly spread the fig, apple and balsamic fruit (60 g) over the pastry.
step 4
Peel the pears (5), then squeeze over the lemon juice (1) to stop them from going brown. Halve and core the pears, thinly slice lengthwise, then arrange onto the tart.
step 5
Fold the edges of the dough so it slightly overlaps the pears. Brush the edges with the egg wash (1).
step 6
Season the tart with salt, and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the baking tray and leave to cool on a wire rack.
step 7
Once cool, crumble over the stilton (150 g) and drizzle over the honey and walnuts (as needed). Scatter over some thyme (2 sprigs), if you have it.
