Ingredients (Makes 12 Skewers)
- 2 ripe pears, cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients:
- Cut the pears and Brie into evenly sized cubes.
- Wash and pat dry the baby spinach leaves.
- Assemble Skewers:
- On each skewer, thread a piece of pear, a folded spinach leaf, a cube of Brie, and half a candied pecan. Repeat the process until the skewer is full, leaving some space at the bottom for handling.
- Drizzle and Serve:

- Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips

- Make Ahead: Assemble skewers a few hours before serving, but add the honey drizzle just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- Presentation: Serve with additional candied pecans or a side of balsamic glaze for dipping.
