Endive leaves cleaned and separated
Blue Cheese or Gorgonzola Crumbles
Chopped Candied Pecans
Spindel Farms Simply Outrageous Pomegranate or Pomegranate Tangerine Vinegar
Fresh Pomegranate Arils (seeds) (optional)
Fresh Cranberries (optional)

Fill each endive leaf with cheese, a sprinkle of nuts and arils, if using. Gently sprinkle a small amount of vinegar over each leaf to lightly coat. Place filled leaves in a layered pattern on a serving platter. For a beautiful, festive and clean presentation, cover your serving platter with fresh, rinsed and drained cranberries or pomegranate seeds before layering with endive. Enjoy!

Variation: For those who prefer a glazed presentation, pour vinegar in a small sauce pan and simmer on medium heat to reduce till vinegar just coats the back of a spoon. Cool, then use to drizzle over stuffed leaves in place of above vinegar.
