  • Our signature dish is Maple glazed pears
    We select yellow-green Bartlett or Anjou pears which respond to light finger pressure. We pare them carefully, and divide in half. Using a small scoop, we remove the seeds and stem. The cavity then gets a filling made from brown sugar, melted butter, raisins and chopped walnuts. The pears are placed in a bath of cranberry juice mixed with NH maple syrup and spoon basted as they bake. Before serving we grate nutmeg over the top and garnish with a fresh mint leaf.
