    Baked Pears with Maple Syrup and Homemade Granola Illy Coffee
    Baked Pears with Maple Syrup and vanilla extract, served with delicious homemade granola crisp, vanilla ice cream and illy cold brew. An easy baked pears crisp dessert recipe for your next brunch or party.

    One great taste deserves another.  It’s quite a simple rule to follow right?  After we’ve put time into making a delicious dish it should only be served alongside a high quality drink to match.  The drink should not only go-along-with the accompanying food’s flavors, it should bring them to new levels.  People most often think of wine when it comes to food pairings, and as of the last few years craft beers (especially with all of the fine gastropubs popping up).  I seldom pass up an invitation to a party with either of these!  Fine coffee is another drink that pairs well with food, be it after a fine dinner with guests or a Sunday morning brunch.

    Baked Pears with Maple Syrup and Homemade Granola

    Below is a recipe for baked pears with maple syrup a homemade granola crisp, and a simple scoop of ice cream on the side.  The dish has some nice contrasts: the pear still warm from the oven and the cold vanilla ice cream, the crunch of the a homemade granola and the cool texture of the pears.  The dish works well on its own, but with a cup of my tastiest coffee in-hand I savor the each bite so much more.  It is  ever important to select the right coffee for pairings, one that is rich in body yet a bold and smooth taste.  illy coffee is what I reach for and has never let me or my guests down. The pride they take in their product is unmatched in everything from their selection of Arabica beans (“from 9 of the best origins in the world”), to the way they pressure package their beans for freshness.  A great cup of medium roast illy blend coffee or illy espresso will elevate the taste of this dish as well as the mood of you and your guests.  Yes, it’s that good!

    On a final note, one more reason to support illy products is that they pioneered a business model where the farmers of the beans receive healthy profits.  This is fair, and has an outcome of higher quality Arabica beans.  It’s also a much more sustainable approach, too, which makes me a proud supporter of the brand.
