Rhubarb brings its late-winter brightness to this favourite pudding, while ripe, buttery pears soften the edges and add a gentle creaminess. Instead of the traditional rubbing-in method, the crumble is made by pouring warm browned butter straight into the dry ingredients, creating a pebbly topping with a deeper toasted flavour. Leave out the crushed fennel seed, if you prefer, but this small addition, bloomed briefly in the butter, gives the whole thing a subtle aromatic lift.

Pear and blue cheese are a classic combo that has been around for a long time. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to serve everything pear as these late fall and early winter months are when pears are in season. Their delicious sweetness matches perfectly with the crunch of the nuts and the savory flavor of the blue cheese to make a salad everyone will rave about this holiday season.
