Spectacular! This was a great way to use up my overabundance of pears.<br/>I only changed two things: I didn't have fresh cranberries, so I used Craisins instead. I also left out the cloves (I didn't have any). This is so yummy served with vanilla ice cream! :D Thanks for sharing!

One of the easiest and fastest desserts to prepare. Smells absolutely wonderful as it is cooking and my family ate it all in one sitting! I plan to make it for Thanksgiving 2010 :)
