A spare pear or two?

Or 6 to 8?

I made fresh pear pie yesterday and I have two pieces left. It is taking every ounce of willpower I have not to devour them myself!! lol

Here's the recipe in case anyone would like to try it.

Pear Pie

6 to 8 fresh pears (approx.), peeled, cored, and halved, or 1 can (28oz. pears in light syrup, dranined)

1 9" unbaked pie shell

3/4Cup granulated sugar

Pinch salt

1tbsp cornstarch

1tbsp lemon juice

1tsp grated lemon rind

1/4tsp cinnamon (I use a little more)

Pinch ginger

1/2Cup all-purpose flour

1/4Cup soft butter

Arrange pears in pastry shell. Mix together 1/4C of the sugar, salt, cornstarch, lemon juice and rind. Sprinkle over pears. Combine remaining sugar with cinnamon, ginger and flour. Work in butter until crumbly and sprinkle over pie.
Bake in 450F oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350F and continue baking for about 30 minutes or until pears are tender and top is golden.

Love pear pie. They never last long in my house. I'm a sweet eater. It there's sweets around I pass on the meal and eat the sweets instead.
