4 x medium-firm pears, peeled, halved
1 tbsp olive oil (15ml)
3 oz mild, soft blue cheese
1 tbsp crumbled mixed nuts (15 ml)
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives (15 ml)
1 tbsp dried cranberries (15 ml)

Steps:

1. Using a melon baller or spoon, remove the core of the pear halves to create a circular pocket in the pear. Place the pears onto a tray and drizzle with olive oil to coat. 2. Prepare the stuffing by crumbling blue cheese into a medium bowl. Fold the mixed chopped nuts, cranberries and chives into the cheese. 3. Place a large spoonful of the cheese mixture into the pocket at the centre of each pear. 4. Preheat the grill to 425°F. 5. Oil the grill. Place the pears onto the grill and cook on medium high heat for 2 minutes until char marks appear on the base of the pears. Turn the heat off and close the lid on the grill. Continue to cook gently for another 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
