1 cup pear nectar
4 tablespoons brown sugar

Combine the butter, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Mix well. Divide the butter mixture between 8-ounce heat-proof mugs or glasses.
Combine the pear nectar and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the brown sugar is dissolved and the mixture is very hot.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the Akvavit. Pour the mixture over the butter in the mugs.
Add a slice of pear, a slice of lemon, and cinnamon stick to each mug. Serve immediately.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
