DIY Mini Pear Place Cards
Oh, how I love when an unexpected opportunity presents itself! In this case, the answer to my angst over what to use for Thanksgiving place cards. A bit dramatic? You bet! On one of my multiple trips to the grocery store over the past couple of days, I found these mini Seckel pears at my local store. At $2.99/pound, not cheap for eating, but a VERY fair price for my purposes. Seckel pears are a super sweet hybrid variety that blends an Asian with a European pear for what many call a 'sugar pear.'
When I discovered these little gems, I immediately decided to use them as our Thanksgiving feast place cards. Here's how I did it below. The pictures tell the short and sweet story. If you can't find Seckel pears in your local market, try any small tree fruit with a stem - apples, satsuma oranges, lemons.
After you've enjoyed your mini pear place cards, chop up your pears and make a little compote to pour over vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce. Here's a super yummy recipe for Seckel pear-cranberry compote that I'm sure will please the crowds on Black Friday and beyond.
