Pear Walnut Crackers:
2 pears chopped
2 c. walnuts soaked and drained
1 c. almonds soaked and drained
2 c. raw groats ground into flour
1 t. cinnamon
2 t. fresh sage
1/2 t. papaya seed peppercorns*
1/2 t. sea salt
First grind oat groats into flour using a Vitamix or grain mill. Set aside. Next puree pears in a food processor. Add walnuts and incorporate well. Then add almonds and incorporate well again. Add oat groats and other remaining ingredients and blend well until a dough-like consistency has formed. Spread mixture onto two Teflex lined dehydrator sheets. Press each ball of dough into a large square. Score the crackers into desired shapes. Dehydrate at 105 degrees for about 10 hours, flipping halfway and removing Teflex liners at this point. Crackers should be crisp when finished dehydrating.
*Instead of peppercorns, I dehydrate papaya seeds until they are the size of peppercorns and then put them in my peppermill.
Pear Fig Compote:
1 pear chopped and seeded
12 dried Black Mission Figs with stems removed
1 t. cinnamon
Process ingredients in a food processor until you have a jelly consistency.
Assembly:
Place a tablespoon of compote on each cracker. Top with a thin slice of pear and sprinkle with cinnamon.
