True Canadian Cheese Fondue
Sweet and crispy slices of apples and pears are great for dipping. If you prefer something savoury, try mini yellow tomatoes and broccoli florets.

Late-summer fruit, such as pears and plums, give a mild sweetness to this chili. Ripe, in-season field tomatoes are the best choice.
For a perfect condiment partner, you'll want to make up a batch of our easy Pear Ketchup. You'll find the recipe link below.
This no-bake snack is not only healthy but also allows little chefs to be creative. A pear is a great alternative if you're out of apples.
Grainy mustard adds a bit of texture to the sauce, but you can use Dijon. Garnish with orange wedges and serve with pears and short pasta, such as orzo.

This classic combination is comfort food for little palates, too. For variety, replace the apple with pears or prunes. Try to choose pork that isn't seasoned, which adds unnecessary salt to this meal.
This indulgent maple-infused custard is made even sweeter by adding a seasonal buttery pear topping. To ensure that the custard is set in time for dessert, make the pots de creme well in advance of your guests' arrival.
This classic French pear dessert was created in honour of the operetta “La Belle Helene.” Here, the warmth of spice replaces the traditional vanilla. To develop and deepen flavour, this recipe requires overnight refrigeration. Don't throw out any remaining poaching syrup; use it to sweeten and spice up hot chocolate and coffee.
These little loaves work wonders as gifts, but you can also set them out as a sweet afternoon treat or as part of a holiday brunch. For a selection of flavours, make the Chocolate-Pear Loaves and Chestnut Loaves as well and package the trio in a pretty tin.
Being vegetarian doesn't mean you have to skip the traditional tourtiere. TVP, or textured vegetable protein, is a dried soy product available in granules or chunks that, when cooked, resemble the texture of ground meat. Look for it in the health food section of grocery stores. Serve this tourtiere with Tomato Pear Ketchup.
