Included in a shipment of wine from Valley View Winery in Jacksonville, Oregon the other day were a couple of Bosc pears from Naumes Fruit Gifts in Medford, Oregon.
We weren't expecting the pears, but Cindy used them in an amazing pasta dish tonight. She chopped up the pears, made a sauce from an Amish chicken soup base we had lugged home from Indiana, Oregon Smokey Blue cheese from the Rogue Creamery , tarragon and basil from our garden, candied walnuts, and a dash of lime (since our lemon tree turned out to be a lime....) and added it to the pasta. It was an interesting blend of flavors, with the Bosc pear, tarragon and the Smokey Blue working together without any one flavor dominating.
We had it with some bruschetta topped with olive oil, garlic, our tomatoes and mozzarella, and it was all yummy.
