I don't usually use pears in baking/cooking, but I guess I should start! - 11/19/2011   5:46:11 PM

Yum! I've always liked pears, but never ventured out from the typical green ones. I recently came upon a sale at my local grocer and picked one of each type they had on sale. I had 5 different pears- most were hits, a couple were misses, but I'm glad I tried the red one. It was just as delicious as the green ones I love so much. - 11/19/2011   5:38:37 PM

A nicely ripened red pear eaten out of hand - that's the easiest pear 'recipe'! Except it can be hard to find them perfectly ripe...

I like to roast pears in the oven with some butter on them - sort of a caramelizing process. Not so healthy at the end, but better than a bowl of ice cream! :^)

I also have a pear/apple/cranberry crisp recipe that I used to make for a Thanksgiving dessert every year. But now my boys like pecan pie, so we make that instead. - 11/18/2011   11:06:25 PM

My personal favorite pear recipe is an upside down pear cake with maple syrup recipe that I got from a Cooking Light magazine years ago. It is low-cal, melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

I am looking forward to trying the Pear Yogurt muffin recipe and have saved it to my SparkPeople cookbook.

Thanks for all the recipes! - 11/18/2011   11:11:39 AM
