Cooks Tip

• This makes an unusual but excellent Christmas Dinner starter, in fact it makes excellent starter for any dinner party!
• If you want to make this in advance just prepare the pears and triple wrap them in clingfilm tightly and refrigerate,they'll be okay for about 2 hours without going brown, the bacon can be cooked hours before you dine and set aside in a bowl, then you're really only left with the sauce to cook and the lettuce to go on the plates.
