Ingredients
 
 

  • 15 Mini Phyllo cups
  • 1 Fresh pear chopped small dice
  • 1 Tsp. Butter
  • 1 Tbsp. Patricia and Paul Cinnamon and Pear Balsamic Vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp. Macadamia nuts chopped
  • Pinch Kosher salt
  • Pinch Cinnamon
  • Pinch Flaky salt to finish optional
  • Aerosol whipped cream optional

Instructions
 

  • In a nonstick skillet, sprayed with cooking spray, add the butter. When melted, add one tablespoon of the vinegar and let cook for about a 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  • Add the chopped pear and macadamia nuts. Sprinkle with cinnamon and a pinch of kosher salt. Saute for about 3 minutes until fruit is soft and the fruit and nuts are fragrant. The vinegar will have cooked down and will have become a syrupy glaze with the butter. Stir frequently. Remove from the heat and sprinkle flaky salt. Stir and let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, crisp up the phyllo cups in a 300 degree F. oven for 5 minutes until crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.
  • Fill each cup evenly with the fruit nut mixture. Top with a small swirl of whipped cream. Serve and enjoy.
