Cranberry-pear Crisp Recipe

	Mbeards2 / All my dishes 11 months, 1 week ago From “Come One, Come All/ Easy Entertaining with Seasonal Menus’’ by Lee Svitak Dean (Minnesota Historical Society Press). The pears and cranberries go well together. Other fruit, such as apples, can be used in place of the pears. Prep:30m Cook:30m Servings:8	Mbeards2

Ingredients

Filling:

8 ripe pears, peeled, cored and cut in ¼-inch slices

1 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cups fresh cranberries

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

¾ cup flour

½ cup firmly packed brown sugar

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened and cut into pieces

Directions

Toss the pear slices in lemon juice and combine with cranberries in an ungreased 9- by 13-inch baking pan (see Note); toss with granulated sugar and cinnamon.

In a bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar and butter with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit mixture.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping is lightly browned.

Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

NOTE- I just made this and the only thing I would change is to add about 2 tablespoons of flour with the sugar and cinnamon because it ended up kinda soupy. Other than, we all loved it.

I got this recipe- or something almost identical- from epi a few years ago and made it as a dessert for christmas dinner with my family..

my mom loved it so much that she insisted on leaving with all the leftovers to bring to her friends!..

this is really good- i can vouch for that...
and the pears are MUCH nicer than apples...really lightens everything and gives it a certain elegance that elevates the whole dish....

great post!..

thanks-
