INSTRUCTIONS
Method: Heat oven to 375. Quickly combine first 6 ingredients to make
crust. Don't handle more than you have to; it gets tough if it's overmixed.
Roll out and line a 9-inch tart pan with the dough. Arrange the pear halves
attractively cut side down in the shell so that the stem ends are all
facing into the center and bake for about 20 minutes. If the pears don't
all fit that way, chop some and mound them in the center. Combine the
remaining ingredients and pour into the pan and bake until firm, about 30
more minutes. Serve warm or cool. You can substitute pears in almost any
recipe you have that uses apples. Pear pie. Baked pears in pie crust. Fried
pears. Pork loin with sliced pears. Enjoy, very much.
