Ingredients

10 walnuts (best if you can get local ones still in their shell)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
3 tablespoons water
Nutmeg (freshly grated)
1 to 2 teaspoons honey (optional)

Recipe Directions

1. Shell the walnuts. Put them into a bowl, cover with water, and leave to soak for 24 hours.

2. Drain and rinse the walnuts. Pop them into a processor (or mini processor as I do) with the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of the water. Process well.

3. Open the processor, scrape down the sides and add the last tablespoon of water.

4. Process again. Keep going till it’s really smooth.

5. Take the blade out of the processor and spoon in the optional honey. Grate nutmeg in to taste and stir well.

I'm in Tuscany, Italy and here walnuts and pears are in season at the same time. I’m sure it’s because they taste amazing together!

To celebrate, here’s a really simple walnut spread I came up with that goes so well on sliced up pears.

It’s really easy to make, and a smooth and creamy taste experience!

I always soak my walnuts (the color of the soak water after will explain to you why!), but it is possible to make this spread without pre-soaking.

You’d need to add more water at the processing stage to make a smooth paste.
