Peaches

Talking about fruit, I love it all. Years ago in my early marriage days we were broke most of the time. There was a pear tree in the yard where our apartment was. The landlady had told me to help myself. I was so hungry for a dessert, but broke. So I had the idea to make a pear pie. I did it just like I would have made an apple pie. Since the pears were the hard, green kind, I sliced them very thin. It made a wonderful pie, and now I still cook them. We actually prefer them to apple. Top the warm slice with vanilla ice cream of course and enjoy. :nod:

That sounds delicious! 

I'm addicted to pretty much every fruit under the sun. I just love fruit.

Oh I'm going to have to try that for DS @blueyedgirl5946!  I don't know why I never thought to use pears as a substitute!  We always go apple picking in the fall; but then poor DS doesn't get to enjoy any!  What sort of spices do you use?  I love nutmeg in apple pie; but I'm not sure about with pears?

MoochNNoodles I always use only cinnamon because I don't like the taste of nutmeg. I would advise you to spice it just as you would if you were baking apple pie for your family. Trust me, it is wonderful.

I'll give it a try sometime soon.  I suppose I could always make 2 pies and see which I like best too!

MoochNNoodles I took some pears to church for sharing last night. I was telling some of the folks about how I learned to do a pear pie. One person there said she had actually made a pie and used part apples and part pears. That gets me to thinking. :lol3:

Ok so now I need to make 3-4 pies.  I suppose the options are endless!
