Gorgonzola dolce, or dolcelatte, is a creamy, slightly sweet blue cheese. Look for it in specialty shops. If you can't find it, try regular Gorgonzola, which will have a richer flavor.

• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• 4 ripe red Bartlett pears, halved lengthwise, cored, and cut into wedges
