A Taste of Autumn




maple leaf shortbread with brandied pears in a pool of chocolate ganache



For shortbread i don't really use a recipe.  Just knead approximately 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup of sugar into the desired consistency.  Then it's just roll, cut and bake (8 mins).  

Poach pears in brandy (1/4 cup) , water (2 cups) and sugar (1/4 cup) for 30 minutes until tender.  

Brandy and pears:
a perfect pair
