Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons honey
2 red-skinned pears, such as Bartlett, halved lengthwise, cored, and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
12 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more sprigs and chopped fresh thyme, for garnish
1 pound grapes, preferably Concord Focaccia, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat 3 tablespoons honey in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling and thickened, about 2 minutes. Add pears to skillet; transfer to the oven. Bake 10 minutes. Turn pears over using tongs, and sprinkle with 6 of the thyme sprigs. Add grapes to skillet. Bake until pears are golden and caramelized, about 15 minutes more. Discard thyme sprigs.
  • Heat remaining 1/4 cup honey and 6 thyme sprigs in a small saucepan until honey has reduced and thickened; discard thyme sprigs. Spoon pear mixture over the focaccia; drizzle with honey from saucepan, and garnish with the chopped thyme and more sprigs. Cut into squares for serving.

I'm not a big fan of thyme, so I omitted it from the recipe. The bread still turned out great.

I found this bread to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more buttermilk or honey next time.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This bread is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. The pears and grapes add a touch of sweetness, while the thyme adds a subtle savory note. The bread is also very moist and flavorful, thanks to the buttermilk and honey.
