Fall Sliced Pears
A recipe from Georgia Department of Education School Nutrition
This recipe uses the sectionizer to easily slice and core pears. Pears are then tossed in a simple honey dressing with cinnamon and vanilla. The result is delicious and simply slicing pears can do a lot to increase fruit consumption.
Ingredients:
- 20 lbs Pears, fresh, 100 count, whole
- 1 qt Honey
- 1/4 cup Spice, cinnamon, ground
- 2 cup Water, tap
- 1/4 cup Vanilla
Steps:
- Remove stickers from pears, if needed. Then rinse the pears in cool, running water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey and cinnamon. Whisk to incorporate the cinnamon.
- Add the water and vanilla to honey mixture. Whisk to combine.
- Use a sectionizer with the "apple" wedge blade to cut pears into 6 identical slices and remove core. Slice pears and discard cores.
- Add the sliced pears to bowl with honey dressing and gently toss to fully coat.
- Place in 4-inch skinny pans or 4-inch half hotel pans for service.
- Cold hold, covered, for service.
- Place on serving line with 4-ounce spoodle.
- Serving is 1/2 cup.
No bare hand contact with ready to eat food.
The cinnamon will distribute more evenly when first added to the honey and stirred.
Evenly distribute remaining honey dressing from the bowl by pour over pears in serving pans.
Hold at 41°F or below.
Pears do not need to be batched throughout service. The flavor enhances over time and this recipe can be prepared early.
