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.
