Pear/18 recipes

Pears Poached in Red Wine recipe

Joan's Chutney recipe

So yummy, store-bought seven-layer dip can never beat freshly homemade version, no doubt.

I remember this soup from my childhood. Very creamy and thick, full of dill weed. Let it become thin to feel more intense flavor of chanterelle mushrooms.

This mouth-watering fruit crisp helps you transform your seasonal fresh fruits into a delicious dessert. You can use apples, pears, or stone-fruits like peaches and apricots.

A twist on the Christmas classic. You will need deep mince-pie tins for 18 pies and a 6.5cm cutter.

Pear Harlequin recipe

This is the second recipe I'll post tonight--promised it to AH earlier tonight. My mother found this recipe 35 or so years ago in a magazine and it has become a family favorite. For years she only made it at Thanksgiving until I took over the baking reigns in the family; now she makes it more often especially when my brother, Lewis, is going to be in.

Try serving this with softened vanilla or cinnamon ice cream, or with cinnamon whipped cream. To make the latter, whip some heavy cream with a pinch of cinnamon. You can serve the tart warm or at room temperature. Wrap in plastic and keep overnight at room temperature. Or refrigerate for longer storage.
