Grilled Cheese, Smoked Turkey and Roasted Pear Dip Sandwich paired with E. Z. Orchards 2009 Cidre

Cheeses and fruit, especially pears and apples, are natural companions, so deciding on a grilled cheese sandwich was easy. Vic was pressuring me to make one of my turkey dip sandwiches, but I wanted something different to pair with the meat.

Making a savory and sweet dipping sauce was just a matter of experimentation in a saucepan on the stovetop.
