The compulsion to bake on a blistering hot day
Posted on Sep 2, 2009 in baking
I went pear picking with my sister, Liz, oh about 10 days ago with the goal of baking a pear pie from the harvest. Well I finally got around to it, thanks again to Liz, who turned me on to this recipe from Gourmet magazine. The pie wasn’t half bad if I do say so myself.
It’s a very different texture that’s for sure – not nearly as juicy as apple pie - but Dad said he like it and that’s good enough for me. Up to this point I had been relying on Martha for recipes but now that I’ve discovered Gourmet recipes online, there’s no turning back. I’ve got this cake currently in the oven.
Oh my gosh! You make me want to go in the kitchen. Yum!
