1 unbaked pie crust for 9” deep-dish pie 2 cups chopped pears (about 3 pears) 3 eggs ¾ cup sugar 1 cup cream (or ¾ cup milk, ¼ cup butter) 3 Tbsp corn starch ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp dried rosemary or gingerbread spice mix

Preheat oven to 400° F. Prepare the pie crust and place the pie pan on a baking sheet (for ease of handling and safety if it overflows).

Combine all filling ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Pour the mixture into the pie crust.

Bake for 10 minutes at 400° F. Reduce the temperature to 350° F and bake for 40 more minutes.

The custard will set up completely as it cools. Let cool completely before serving.

1 tsp dried rose petals, hibiscus petals, or similar sweet flower ½ cup warm water ¼ cup raisins, dried cranberries, or other small dried fruit 1 ½ cups flour ¼ tsp salt ¾ cup butter 3 small apples 2 pears 2 Tbsp honey ½ cup chopped almonds

Grind the flower petals into a powder. In a small bowl, combine the warm water with the flower petals and dried fruit. Set aside while preparing the filling.

Slice the apples and pears into thin slices, removing the core. Cook the fruit with ¼ cup butter and honey over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and butter is melted. Remove from heat. Scoop out the raisins with a slotted spoon and add those to the apple mixture.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Cut in ½ cup of butter. The flower water should be just under ½ cup; stir that into the flour to make a paste. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill.

Preheat oven to 375° F.

When the dough is cold and harder, roll out into a large, thin circle and line a deep-dish pie pan. Set aside any extra dough to make a decorative top. Spread the chopped almonds into a layer on the bottom, then add the rest of the filling.

Bake for 35-40 minutes.

4-6 pears ¾ cup water 2 Tbsp maple syrup ½ tsp ground cardamom

Before chopping the pears, remove wax from the skin by dipping the pears in hot water for about 30 seconds and scrubbing them with a clean, rough cloth. The color of the skin may change, but it doesn't damage the texture or flavor.

Chop the pears into small pieces, removing the core, until you have 6 cups.

Bring to a boil over high heat the pear, water, and maple syrup. Reduce heat to medium and boil, covered, until pears are completely soft.

Add the cardamom. If most of the water has boiled off, add another ½ cup. Puree the mixture in a blender until completely smooth. Transfer to another container and chill out completely.

Once it is cold, process it in an ice cream machine according to the machine's instructions.

2 cups pears, chopped, with core removed 1 cup strawberries, chopped with leaves removed 2 Tbsp butter ¼ cup cream ¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt 4 eggs ½ tsp salt ½ tsp ground allspice ½ tsp ground ginger 2 Tbsp honey

Preheat the oven to 325° F. Grease the bottom and sides of a large pie tin with 2 Tbsp soft butter.

Cook the pears in enough water to cover, over medium heat, until they are soft enough to easily pierce with a fork. Strain the fruit and put in a blender with all the other ingredients. Blend the ingredients very thoroughly, so that it is completely smooth.

Pour it into the pie tin. Bake for 60 minutes. Chill before serving.

Get some canned pears. Chop them up into smallish pieces. Line a baking sheet with foil, then dust with powdered sugar. Spread the pear pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet. Put in the oven at 200° F for 4-6 hours. They need to be not wet anymore, only slightly sticky, and with a gummy texture like raisins or other dried fruits.

Custard: 3 ¾ cups milk ½ tsp salt 1 tiny pinch lavender buds ¼ tsp dried mint leaves 1/8 tsp dried chamomile flowers 1/3 cup honey ¼ cup + 1 tsp cornstarch 3 egg yolks 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract 1 ½ Tbsp butter

Combine 3 cups milk, salt, and honey in a saucepan over med-high heat. Grind the lavender, mint, and chamomile into powder and stir into the milk.

In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the remaining milk. Add egg yolks and mix well.

When milk comes to a boil, remove from heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Keep stirring as the mixture begins to thicken. Return to heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Pears: 2 pears 1/3 cup honey ½ tsp ground ginger ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

Arrange an oven rack about 5 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler on high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Cut the pears in half lengthwise and scoop out the core and seeds. Arrange the pear halves, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, stir the honey, ginger, and vanilla. Spoon evenly into each pear half.

Broil the pears, rotating the pan once, until bubbling and caramelized, about 5 minutes.

Crust: ¾ cup flour ¾ cup rolled oats 1/3 cup butter ¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt 1 ½ tsp ground ginger, minced fresh ginger, or minced candied ginger

Filling: ¼ cup brown sugar 2 Tbsp flour ½ cup sour cream ½ cup blackberries 2 Tbsp milk ¼ tsp ground cloves 1 pear, cored and sliced thinly

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Crust: Stir together the flour and oats. Cut in the butter until crumbly and there's no dry powder. Stir in the sour cream/yogurt. It should be a somewhat wet dough. Sprinkle flour in the pie tin, then dump the dough in and press it evenly onto the bottom and sides.

Filling: Mix flour and brown sugar well. Stir in sour cream, berries, milk, and cloves. Mix well and spread into the crust. Lay the pear slices over the cream.

Bake for about 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown, the edges of the pear slices are browned, and the cream is bubbling.

Filling:

5 ½ to 6 cups cored, diced pears 1 ½ Tbsp cornstarch 1/8 tsp salt ¼ cup maple syrup 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest 2 Tbsp minced candied ginger or ½ tsp ground ginger

Topping:

2/3 cup flour ¾ cup rolled oats ¼ cup packed brown sugar ¼ tsp salt 6 Tbsp cold butter

Heat the oven to 400°. Place the diced pears in a large bowl, sprinkle the cornstarch over them, and stir well. Add the remaining filling ingredients and toss gently, until the mixture is evenly combined.

Put the filling into deep-dish pie tin and smooth the top of the fruit. Bake for 45 minutes.

While it's baking, make the topping. Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the butter until you have large crumbs. Refrigerate the topping until you are ready to use it.

Lower the oven temperature to 375°. Remove the fruit from the oven and carefully pour the crumbs in the center of the pan, then spread them evenly. Return the crumble to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
