HOLIDAY GUACAMOLE
I tried this recipe at a friend of the family's. It is such a great twist to traditional guacamole. I wanted others to be able to try this. This not only tastes great but it looks nice as well. Don't be scared off by the ingredients, it is great with unsalted tortilla chips!

INSPIRED AVOCADO GUACAMOLE W. POMEGRANATE & PEARS
This recipe originates from Gourmet & is really something special. I serve this every year for Rosh Hashana as an appetiser along with my challahs as pomegranate seeds are symbolically very significant. Very different from what you may be used to but oh so delicious!(prep time includes 1 hour in frig.)

Steps:
- In a molcajete or food processor, grind onion, chiles, and salt into a rough paste. Gradually add the avocado, coarsely mashing it (you'll want it to be chunky). Stir in the lime juice. Fold in the pear, grapes, and 1/2 cup of the pomegranate seeds. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds over the guacamole and serve.
Tips:
- Avocado should be ripe, but not overly soft, otherwise guacamole may turn out too runny.
- To select a ripe pear, gently press on the neck of the pear. It should give slightly.
- To easily scoop out the avocado flesh, cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh and place it in a bowl.
- To prevent guacamole from browning, sprinkle it with lemon or lime juice.
- If guacamole is too thick, add a little water. If guacamole is too thin, add more avocado.
- Guacamole tastes best when eaten fresh. If storing guacamole, cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
