Autumn Pear Pie
From midgelet 15 years ago
- 70 minutes to make
- Serves 8
Pears pies are very subtle and delicate in flavor with a texture like apple pie. Either served warm or well chilled along with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, it is surprises people how wonderful pears can be in pie The recipe is a adpatation of several which I taylored to my liking. Read more I am considering entering it for a local pie fest since one does not see to many pear pies around See less
