Ingredients:

  • 4 pears , large, bartlett, peeled and quartered, cut 1 1/2 - 2-inch thick slices
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar, brown
  • 2 eggs , large
  • 2/3 cup cream, hard
  • 4 tsp pear brandy (optional... may use pear nectar)
  • 1 cup cream

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Peel and slice pears,
  3. Caramelize the pears in butter and 3 tbsps sugar. Cook until a nice golden brown and set aside to cool.
  4. Arrange the cooled, caramelized pears nicely in the unbaked pie crust.
  5. Blend together the eggs, remaining sugar, minced candied ginger, cream, ground almonds and pear brandy or nectar.
  6. Pour the custard mixture over the pears and place in a preheated oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes. (or until done)
