Red pears are in our market now in TX. I saw this gorgeous picture and clicked on the recipe. Serendipity happened because I had all the ingredients! I love it when that happens. Will surprise my husband with this dessert, he likes pears too.

Yum – here in New Zealand, Easter happens in the Fall – so this April these yummy pears will be on my Easter dessert table. Made me laugh when you state that one pear is good for 2 people – oh no, I’m having one all to myself!

This looks and sounds wonderful! I’m hoping to find a box of those pears.i usually go to the Minneapolis Farmers market- hope it’s open one more Saturday.Could you give me a substitute (and amount needed) for the agave syrup? I have concerns over some of the studies that say it is like High fructose corn syrup after processing.Thank you for the lovely recipes and website.

You might want to do some more research on agave. If you get a good, raw agave, it is a good sweetener, especially since it doesn’t require much to sweeten. You can read here: https://www.rawmazing.com/agave-hero-or-villain/
