PEARS WITH MUSTARD CREAM MAYONNAISE

This is a great starter/ accompainment, you really have to try it, simple and easily put together. Ingredients......2 ripe eating pears, 1 tbs of lemon juice, 4 tbs of mayonaisse, 1 tbs of Dijon mustard, 2 tbs of thickened cream. For the garnish.... lettuce leaves, flaked almonds. Peel the pears. Slice them in half. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds and core. Brush each pear with the lemon juice to prevent discolouring. Whisk the mayonnaise with the mustard and whipped cream. To serve, place a few lettuce leaves on serving plates. Place a pear half, cut side down on each plate and coat with mustard mayonnnaise. Sprinkle with flaked almonds. I serve the pear and mustard mayonnaisse along with sliced ham and salad. This sarter/ accompaniment really celebrates summer.
