Pear Beehives

I found this beautiful (and tasty!) recipe from a magazine called "Relish" that comes as an insert to a  publication that my husband picked up at the supermarket the other week. As soon as I saw the picture, I knew I had to make it! Below is the recipe with some slight adaptations.

Ingredients
1 sheet of Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry
6 soft, ripe pears*
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinammon
1 egg white, beaten

*The best way to make sure your pears are soft is to buy them a few days before you are going to make them and place them in a closed paper bag. Some kind of chemical reaction with the gases they release takes place and ripens them faster when you do this.

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. On a piece of parchment paper, roll out one sheet of dough to make a long rectangle. Cut into 6 long strips.

3. Combine cinnamon and sugar on a flat plate.

4. Peel pears and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.

5. For each pear, take a strip a dough, and starting from the top, wrap it around the pear, overlapping slightly. Place pears on a baking sheet.

6. Gently brush each pear with the egg white. Bake for 40-45 minutes until dough is golden.

 7. Serve warm and enjoy!
