			Directions:
			Stir together lemon juice and water.  Brush pear surface lightly with lemon juice to retard browning.  
Combine cream cheese and blue cheese until well mixed.  Form into 1- inch balls and roll in chopped nuts.  
Place cheese ball into center cavity of each Comice half.  Serve with additional cheese selection.

Sherry or light white wine is a good accompaniment.    Any variety of pear can be substituted.
