Yield Makes 6 dessert servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15-oz) container whole-milk ricotta
5 tablespoons mild honey
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 firm-ripe Anjou or Bosc pears, peeled if desired
1/3 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
Garnish: fresh thyme sprigs

  • Stir together ricotta, 2 tablespoons honey, thyme, 1 tablespoon basil, 1 tablespoon mint, and a pinch of salt.
  • Halve pears lengthwise and scoop out core with a melon-ball cutter or spoon. Leaving stem end intact, cut each pear half lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices and gently press against a work surface to create a fan shape.
