- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE PEAR-MICE D "19 May 86" 1986
- .RZ "MICE" "A quick pear dessert"
- In general, a typical
- Australian dish is a typical British dish, which is to say a typical European
- or American dish with most of the subtleties of flavour (and difficulty in
- making) removed. The following dessert is a genuine Old Family Favorite in
- Australia.
- .IH "Makes 1 serving"
- .IG "2" "pear halves"
- Preferably canned (for authenticity), but cooked fresh pear would do.
- .IG "2" "blanched almonds"
- .IG "" "angelica"
- (Cut two pieces of crystalized (candied) angelica, each
- .AB "1/8 inch" "3 mm"
- by
- .AB "2 inches" "50 mm" ")"
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Carefully halve the almonds along the natural split in the nut. (This is
- easiest after they are still wet from blanching.)
- .SK 2
- Place the pear halves, round side up, in the serving dish.
- .SK 3
- At the narrow end of each half, add two almond halves to make mouse ears. At
- the other end, insert the angelica to make a tail.
- .NX
- Candied angelica is almost impossible to find in North America. Anything else
- with the appropriate properties of sweetness and shape may be substituted,
- e.g. a piece of chocolate or candy cut to size, such as an Ovation mint
- divided longitudinally.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 2 minutes.
- .I Precision:
- don't measure, count.
