To make sabayon:

Ingredients:

8 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbs. honey
1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup Marsala wine
pinch of salt
1 Tbs. turbinado sugar for garnish
thyme sprigs for garnish

Instructions:

1. Set up a saucepan with 2 inches water over medium-low heat so the water steadily simmers.
2. Set up a large ice bath.
3. In a stainless steel bowl that can fit over saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar and whisk in remaining ingredients.
4. Set bowl over double boiler and whisk constantly until light and frothy and doubled in size, about 6 minutes. Do not let bowl touch simmering water.
5. If egg mixture gets too hot it will scramble the eggs and you’ll have to start over, so move the bowl back and forth from the heat and use ice bath if necessary.
6. Serve sabayon warm over roasted pears for a sweet and savory dessert.
