Pear And Grape Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 pear halves in natural juice, fresh or canned
1/2 lb tokay grapes (I would suggest seedless grapes)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 tablespoon heavy cream or 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
4 grape leaves

Preparation

If pears are fresh, they should be very ripe (dip in lemon juice immediately to prevent darkening).
If pears are canned, drain well.
Cut grapes in half, removing the seeds if necessary.
Mix the cream cheese with the cream or mayonnaise.
Place the pear, cut side down, on a plate.
Cover the pear with the cream cheese mixture.
Cover the surface of the pear with the grapes, placing the cut side down.
Place a grape leaf on each salad plate.
Place on pear decorated with grapes on each grape leaf, cut side down.
The finished pear should resemble a bunch of grapes.
Top with a dollop of mayonnaise if desired.
