I'm finishing up my post right now ... cutting it close, I know! But with the holiday and my son's birthday party this weekend, I kept putting this off. Made the dish a few days ago but never got to post ... it'll be here shortly!

Here's mine, at the last minute Smiley

Pear Ginger Mousse with Candied Fennel





<b>Ingredients:</b>

1 tablespoon butter
2 pears, peeled, cored and chopped (about 1 1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 tablespoons agave syrup (Xagave)
1/4 cup brandy
2/3 cup whipping cream

1/2 fennel bulb
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup agave syrup (Xagave)

<b>Directions:</b>

In a skillet, melt butter. Add ginger, pears, and agave syrup.  Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the pears are tender.  Add 1/4 cup brandy and blend into a puree.   Strain if necessary.  

Whip the cream to soft peaks and fold into the pear puree.  Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.  

Slice fennel into thin rounds on a mandoline.   Place into a saucepan, cover with water.  Bring to boil and simmer for a few minutes, then drain.   Return to the saucepan. Add water and agave syrup and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Cool.  

Arrange the pear ginger mousse in the individual serving bowls or glasses and add the candied fennel on top.
