I am a little obsessed with the spice Cardamom.  I first ran into cardamom while traveling in Tanzania, where I was able to buy some of the spice fresh, although I do not believe it is native to Africa.  As I will be travelling to the continent again soon, I’ve been craving cardamom, and found a wonderful recipe for Cardamom Pear Muffins that our guests at the Cliffside Inn have really enjoyed.  The recipe also includes one of my other favorite ingredients – ricotta cheese!

Enjoy!
