- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the jam and balsamic vinegar and heat for several seconds until warm. Stir with a small whisk. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.

CHICKEN, BELGIAN ENDIVE, AND GRAPE GRAIN SALAD
This hearty yet light grain salad incorporates lots of yummy early fall flavors and is a great use of underrated ancient grains like barley and buckwheat. I love the touch of bitterness from the endive contrasted with the sweetness of the grapes and cranberries. This makes enough for two lunch-sized servings or four smaller side dishes.

Steps:
- For the pear vinaigrette:.
- Heat the pear juice on stovetop over medium heat to reduce to 1/4 of its original amount, for 40 minutes, until caramelized. Set aside and let cool.
- In a bowl, mix the reduced pear juice, cider vinegar, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Slowly add the canola oil whisking constantly. Season the vinaigrette with salt, and pepper, to taste. Add a little more pear juice or water if the vinaigrette is too thick. Set aside.
- For the salad:.
- In a pan, add the olive oil and toast the pine nuts on medium-high heat. Keep an eye on them because they tend to burn fast.
- Place the endives and grapes in a bowl, add the vinaigrette and mix well. Transfer the salad mixture in the serving bowls and garnish with pears, pine nuts and cheese.
- Cook's Note:.
- Old Cheddar or Gouda can be substituted for the Mimolette.
