Add a fresh flavour to your plates with pears. Crunchy, tart and delicious, pears are a late summer-autumn fruit that's as easily eaten as a snack as it can be transformed by roasting, poaching or caramelising. Naturally high in fibre, this powerhouse fruit is worth celebrating.

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).
Pop the chips onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, quarter the pear lengthways (no need to peel). Remove the core, then halve them again lengthways.
Lay the pear slices onto another lined baking tray, drizzle with oil and the honey (see pantry for amount), then roast on the middle shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, roll the sausage meat into even-sized balls and shape into 1cm thick burgers, 1 per person. Pop them onto a plate. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. TIP: Wet your hands slightly before shaping the sausage meat, as this will help prevent it sticking to your hands.
When the pear is halfway through cooking, lay the bacon in a single layer onto the same tray. Bake on the middle shelf until golden brown and crispy, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.

Once the chips have been cooking for about 10 mins, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the burgers and fry until browned and cooked through,10-12 mins total. Carefully turn them every 2 mins and lower the heat if needed.
Once cooked, transfer to a clean plate lined with kitchen paper. IMPORTANT: The burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

A few mins before everything's ready, halve the burger buns.
Pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

When everything's ready, transfer the toasted buns to your plates.
Lay the pear slices onto the bun bases. Top with the burgers, bacon rashers, blue cheese and some rocket.
Spread the mayo (see pantry for amount) onto the bun lids and sandwich shut. Serve the chips alongside.
