*Here's how to add a spicy taste to pears with cream cheese and sauces.*

## Ingredients

- 4 ripe pears (or tinned half pears, drained)

8 ounces (250g or one cup) cream cheese

3 ounces flaked almonds, chopped and toasted

4 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon tomato ketchup or puree

i tablespoon cream

Dash of tabasco sauce

Dash worcester sauce

Juice of a lemon

Salt and pepper

Lettuce leaves

## Method

Form the cream cheese into small balls and roll in the almonds; chill for one hour. If using fresh pears, peel, core and cut into half. Brush with lemon juice to prevent discolouration. Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, cream, tabasco, worcester, salt and pepper. Pile the cheese balls into the pear halves and arrange on a bed of lettuce. Pour the spicy mayonnaise sauce over the pears and serve.
