Ingredients (serves 4):

For ice cream:
2 cups quality vanilla ice-cream
1 tablespoon Pure Beechworth Honey
¼ cup pistachio nuts, finely crushed
¼ cup Brookfarm macadamia nuts,
finely crushed

For glazed pears:
1/3 cup Pure Beechworth Honey
½ teaspoon of vanilla
60 gr butter
4 medium sized ripe pears, peeled,
halved and cored

Prepare ice-cream at least 2 hours before serving*. Soften vanilla ice-cream; add honey and nuts and mix to combine. Cover and freeze.

To prepare pears, place honey and butter in a large heavy based frypan (not a non stick pan). Stir until butter melts. Let simmer 1 minute. Add pears and cook 5 minutes each side. Remove pears and divide between 4 serving
plates. Stir liquid over a moderate heat until boiling. Then simmer, without stirring, for 4 minutes or until thick and syrupy. Spoon liquid over pears. Serve warm with ice-cream.

*Honey nut ice-cream can be prepared up to three days in advance.
