BC Bartlett pears are incredibly juicy and aromatic—ideal for easy, versatile dishes like this one. Hosting a dinner party? Serve the parfait in layered glasses for a touch of elegance. Keeping it casual? Build your layers in a bowl for a simple breakfast at home. Breakfast, dessert, or a healthy snack—why choose? Want to sweeten things up? Swap the granola for crushed gingersnaps. Feeling savoury? Skip the honey and cinnamon, and layer in garlic, sharp cheese, and toasted nuts for a high-protein twist.
