Ingredients
- 8 slices whole grain wheat bread
- 1 medium pear
- 8 teaspoons peanut butter
- 1 1/3 tablespoons strawberry preserves (4 teaspoons)
Measured for the finished dish, as published — so there are no per-ingredient numbers to show.
Method
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Use a flower-shaped cookie cutter to cut each slide of bread.
- If bread sticks to cutter, gently push the petals out with your fingers.
- Wash the pear and dry it with a paper towel.
- Cut the pear in half, and remove the core.
- Cut each pear half into four slices, then cut each slice into five pieces.
- You will only use the center three pieces of each slice, so go ahead and eat the end pieces.
- Spread 1 teaspoon of peanut butter in a circle in the center of each of the flowers.
- Place 3 pieces of pear on the peanut butter on each flower.
- Arrange the pears so the skin is facing out and the white centers are touching in the middle.
- Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry preserves in the center of each flower and over the pears.
