CA Pear, Monterey Jack and Herb Skewers: Paired With Chardonnay

Toss the cubed pear in the lemon juice to prevent browning, then thread alternating cubes of pear and Real California Jack cheese on a skewer or long toothpick.

Add the honey and hot sauce to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at full power for 30 seconds and stir to combine. Drizzle a bit of the honey over each skewer, and then top with thyme leaves. Add flaky sea salt, cracked black pepper, and/or red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.

*Remaining hot honey may be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
