Pear and Blue Cheese Pizza with Sweet Onion Jam

I've been trying to figure out what to make with blue cheese, and a lot of you suggested the combination of blue cheese and fruit.  I decided to take it a step further, and instead of just putting the two together on a cracker, I made the whole thing into a pizza.  Blake and I love pizza, and making a new and unique pizza is always fun.  It took me most of the morning to come up with another flavor to add to this recipe, and I finally settled on a Sweet Onion Jam.  I needed something to use as a sauce that wouldn't over power the pear and blue cheese, but that would enhance the sweetness of the pears.  The sweet onion jam turned out great and it was a delicious addition to the pizza.

INGREDIENTS
1 Pear
1 Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough 
1 Sweet Onion - sliced
Blue Cheese Wedge
Red Wine Vinegar
1/4 Cup Red Wine Vingar
1/4 Cup Sugar
salt and pepper

1.  Begin by prepping the onion jam.  In a medium sized pot,  add the onions, salt and pepper, and allow them to saute for 10 minutes or until they begin to get soft.

2.  Once the onions have cooked for 10 minutes, add the vinegar and sugar and allow the onions to continue cooking on medium low heat.

3.  Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees and when ready pre-cook the pizza dough for 5-6 minutes.  Once the pizza dough is finished pre-cooking, begin assembling your pizza.

4.  Spread the onion jam evenly and top with thinly sliced pears.  Sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles on top of the pears, and bake for 10 more minutes.

5.  Once finished, allow the pizza to cool for a minute or two before slicing.
