Holiday Bruschetta


I was very pleased with how this turned out! Everyone loved it. Here is the recipe if you want to try it. I made it up so change it as you will.

Holiday Bruschetta

Ingredients
1 baguette
white onions
pears
fresh cranberries
brown sugar
sparkling cider
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
gorgonzola cheese

6-8 hours before you want to serve the bruschetta...
-thinly slice onions, put in a crock pot with a little oil and brown sugar
-slice pears, in a separate crock pot put pear slices, fresh cranberries, and sparkling cider
(if you don't have two crock pots you can cook the pears and cranberries on the stove, just cook it all until it gets bubbly and hot)

Before serving...
drain the liquid if there is a large amount in the onions or pear/cranberries
slice baguette into cracker size
toast both sides in the oven
brush olive oil on one side of the toast
sprinkle balsamic vinegar on the toast
place a small spoonful of onions on toast
place a small spoonful of cranberry/pear mixture
sprinkle gorgonzola cheese on top
if desired, sprinkle more balsamic vinegar on top

ENJOY!
