Korean Pear Slices with Honey and Pine Nuts
A traditional Korean refreshment built from paper-thin slices of crisp Korean pear fanned in a bowl, finished with a drizzle of honey, toasted pine nuts, and a whisper of cinnamon. Served well chilled, it leans on the pear's own juiciness and sugar rather than any cooking, making it a clean, palate-resetting finish to a rich meal.

Instructions
1
Peel and core the Korean pear, then use a mandoline to cut it into thin, even slices about 2mm thick.
2
Drop the pear slices into a bowl of cold water mixed with the lemon juice to prevent browning; let sit for 2-3 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
3
Fan the chilled pear slices decoratively into 2 shallow bowls.
4
Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes, tossing constantly, until fragrant and just golden; let cool slightly.
5
Drizzle the honey evenly over the pear slices in each bowl.
6
Scatter the toasted pine nuts over the top and finish each bowl with a light dusting of cinnamon.
7
Chill for 10 minutes before serving to let the flavours meld.
