Sweet pears are the perfect complement to tart rhubarb in these easy mini desserts that bridge the gap between late winter and early spring. Fresh rhubarb not in season yet? Try this with thawed frozen sliced rhubarb instead. To speed-ripen pears, put them in a paper bag with an apple or banana. The fruit will release a gas that revs up the ripening process. Leave the bag on the counter for a day or until the pears are soft. (This works for avocados, too.)
