posted a pear recipe that I developed today..over on my blog if anyone would like to take a look.
I have been trying to come up with a few of my own creations using the pears we harvested from our tree. So far I have come up with 2 very yummy family pleasing desserts.
A pie, and then today ...a cake that is very moist and along the lines of a coffee cake type cake.
Anyhow..they are posted at my blog.

I of course have printed out the recipes that Cristine has shared and I have plans to hopefully create some of the Pears with almond syrup real soon.

Tina, do you have an Asian pear tree?
I have two, and usually they are so loaded down that I have to keep the horses out from under them for they love the pears and I'm afraid they could make them selves sick. My mare has figured out to rub on the tree then the pears fall!! :) LOL
This year everything got frost bitten, so hopefulls next year.
