Recipe by Kristen Sullivan This very sweet and tasty tart is deceiving in that is tastes very much like apple pie, but with a very rosy taste.
Peel and slice pears.Ê Fry pear slices in butter, then mash in a mortar.Ê Mix mashed pears, spices, and sugar.Ê Put mixture into pie crust and bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes. Notes: pound pears in mortar until in they small pieces, with some "pear sauce", they do not need to be completely turned into pear sauce *Rose Sugar: Please see the page on "Rose Sugar" in the miscellaneous page of my website for a recipe and more information.
