Almond
Topped Pear Pie Method
First thing
to do is to remove the skin from the pears and slice them
thinly. Combine the first 7 ingredients together and add the
pears and stir around until the pears are well coated with
the syrup mixture. Place the mixture into the unbaked pie
shell. Next thing to do is make the almond topping. Now cut
up the butter and mix flour, sugar and ginger all in a bowl.
Blend until crumbly either with a pastry blender or the tips
of your fingers and then stir in the almonds and add this
mixture onto the top of the pie mixture in the pie shell.
In a preheated moderate oven 350 degrees place the Almond
Topped Pear Pie and cook for 30 minutes or until the shell
is cooked and the top of the pie is golden. This pie is great
served with cream or ice cream.
Enjoy your freshly made Almond
Topped Pear Pie!
