STRAWSPEARBLUEBERRINE

Step One: Make yourself a strawsblueberrine.

Step Two: Get yourself a pear.  You could also use an apple, but I find that a pear’s juicy deliciousness is better suited to the nature of this experiment.  That said, make sure that you get the juiciest pear possible.  Mine was disappointingly dry.

As always, make sure the pear is bigger around than the strawsblueberrine.

Step Three: Hollow out the pear.

This was actually a lot harder than I’d anticipated.  I think that if the pear had been juicier it would have been a lot easier to cut through.  As you can see from the picture, I had to dig the innards out one littler shard at a time.  But it takes more than a tough pear to discourage me!

Step Four: Awwww yeah. Put the strawsblueberrine…

…INSIDE THE PEAR!!!

Step Five: Look at this beautiful thing.  You could shellac it and sell it in stores as decoration.  But you’re not going to do that, are you?  No you’re not, you’re going to EAT it, baby!

This is decidedly an outdoor food - the combination of juices can be pretty messy.  Also pretty delicious and pretty awesome.

We’ve definitely entered the multi-bite realm here, but you’re going to get the best results if you get as much as possible in your first bite.  Don’t be shy, just tear right into it, nobodies judging you.

See? Delicious.  Now, at this point you’re more or less eating a pear, but if you did the first bite right, you’ll be left with some bonus morsels of strawberry and tangerine to liven up the experience.

Awesome.
