Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Spread the unshelled nuts on a cookie sheet, and place them in the oven. Roast for 20 minutes. Then, remove and let cool for at least 30 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    At serving time, arrange the nuts in a basket (after first cracking the shells a little, if you desire), and place them in the center of the table with a couple of nutcrackers.

  4. Step 4

    Cut the pears in half lengthwise, and serve half a pear, split again lengthwise into two pieces, per person. Diners can peel the pears, crack the nuts and eat them together.
