There were just under four pounds of pears in the bag, they should keep us going for a while.

I'd like to use some of them to make a pear cake and a pear tart. I've been looking for recipes and wondered if anyone had any favourites that they'd like to share. I'd be very grateful.
Hi Jo
ReplyDeleteI have one for an Apple Crumble cake but I think it would work just as well with Pears. Will look it out for you later.
That sounds lovely, I'll look forward to having the recipe for it.
DeleteOnly ever had baked pears so looking forward to seeing what you make. What lovely neighbours you have :) xx
ReplyDeleteThey're very generous neighbours. I've never baked with pears before so I look forward to giving some recipes a go.
DeleteLucky you, enjoy. I like pears but don't eat them that often. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteI'm the same, I rarely buy them but enjoy them when I do.
DeleteA lovely thought from your neighbour. We don't eat pears here, so no recipe ideas I'm afraid, but I bet that a crumble would be good! xx
ReplyDeleteMy neighbour has been very generous. We don't often eat pears either so I don't have any recipes that I've used previously, I'm sure I'll find something to make with them though.
DeleteOooh there are so many things you could do! Pears in syrup, pear chutney, definitely pear cake (go Swedish with it - Sockerkaka med äpple style!) or just poached in red wine with pices and creme fraiche! Yum!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Tash from vintagepretty.org
Some lovely ideas there. I've never heard of Sockerkaka, I had to look that up.
DeleteHow nice! I don't have a recipe but I think you can usually use pears the same way you would use apples, so a tart or crumble would work great.
ReplyDeleteI've never cooked with pears before, we usually use apples, but it's good to know that I can just substitute the apples for pears.
DeleteIf you like sweet chutney there is a recipe for Pear Chutney on my blog. Don't you just love generous people x
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually one for chutneys but I may just give this a go, pear chutney sounds rather nice.
DeleteI've a recipe that combines pears and cranberries in a crisp that is lovely... sweet and a little bit tart.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure if you Google for yummy suggestions there's many to choose from.
Enjoy!

I think there's too much choice sometimes, that's why recommendations are good to have.
DeleteMy dad's fruit trees have all produced bumper crops. I have been taking pears into work as there have been so many. Have a great week Jo.
ReplyDeleteI hope you stocked your freezer up first, though I love to share my surplus. People are always really pleased to receive free food as it's so expensive these days.
DeleteHi Jo.
ReplyDeleteIf you go to the Lorraine Pascale website and type in pear to the search box, it will bring you to a fantastic pear tart. It is very easy to make and taste fantastic.
You can also peel and half the pears put them in the end of a cake tin and cover with a chocolate sponge mix. When it is cooked turn out and you have a lovely pear and chocolate upside down cake. Have fun.
Thank you, I'll have a look on the Lorraine Pascale website, and the upside down cake is a good idea, I like the sound of that.
DeleteHi Jo!!
ReplyDeleteHow are you?
The pears look delicious!! I hope you'll share the pear cake recipe with us!

I'll certainly share what I decide to make with all the pears. I've eaten one or two and they're delicious, so juicy.
DeletePS... I seriously LOVE all of the socks on your blog!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. They're so cosy to wear.
DeleteHow kind of your neighbours. I can't help you with a recipe I'm afraid. If S was close by she'd help you eat them though!
ReplyDeleteLisa x
I do enjoy a pear but it's a fruit I rarely buy, the same with plums actually. You'll have to plant a pear tree to keep S supplied.
