Well my camera is not cooperating with the computer again so I am photo-less. :(
This is about the time pears really start coming into season around here. Seckle pears, if you can get them, are incredible in this.
Pear Crisp
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 c finely chopped crystallized ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
- 8 cups peeled and sliced pears
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 2 quart casserole dish
- In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 2 Tbs crystallized ginger, and cinnamon. Stir in the butter until the mixture is crumbly with pea sized lumps. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the white sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and 2 tbs of crystallized ginger. Add the sliced pears, and toss to blend. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Let set for 20 minutes to juice. Spread with the oat topping.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until pears are soft and topping is golden. Cool slightly before serving

Pears…mmmmm..we had a seckle pear tree when I was growing up and I used to sit up in the highest parts of it and read books and eat pears…perfect.
