    Baby Kato's Note:

    This is a quick and easy dessert. It is the bomb. I love the combination of pears, almonds and candied ginger. I got this recipe from my aunt...it is too die for. Hope that you enjoy it as much as we have. We use a shortbread pie crust for this recipe, feel free to use your favorite.

    Ingredients:

    Serves: 4-6

    Yield:

    pie

    Units: US | Metric

    • 4 pears, large, bartlett, peeled and quartered, cut 1 1/2 - 2-inch thick slices
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 1/2 cup sugar, brown
    • 2 teaspoons ginger, candied, finely minced
    • 1 pie crust, unbaked
    • 2 eggs, large
    • 2/3 cup cream, hard (whipping cream)
    • 6 tablespoons almonds, ground
    • 4 teaspoons pear brandy (optional... may use pear nectar)
    • 1 cup cream, whipped cream, garnish
    • 1 teaspoon ginger, candied, shredded, garnish (optional)

    Directions:

    1. 1
      Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    2. 2
      Peel and slice pears,
    3. 3
      Caramelize the pears in butter and 3 tbsps sugar. Cook until a nice golden brown and set aside to cool.
    4. 4
      Arrange the cooled, caramelized pears nicely in the unbaked pie crust.
    5. 5
      Blend together the eggs, remaining sugar, minced candied ginger, cream, ground almonds and pear brandy or nectar.
    6. 6
      Pour the custard mixture over the pears and place in a preheated oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes. (or until done)
    7. 7
      Let rest for 10 minutes before serving -- this is equally as good cold as it is warm.
    8. 8
      When ready garnish with a large dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle remaining shredded candied ginger overtop.

      Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
