    Hello

    I got a big bag of pears for 50p and I wondered if anyone had any good recipes, especially ones that could freeze (before we get sick of pears). So far I have made pear and almond tart, pear muffins and we have eaten some. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.:D

    a crumble?
    just peel and chop them add a clove and some cinnamon and put crumble toppong on top

    Or mash them ( you could add alcohol of your choice), put in a sundae dish put a layer of crushed ginger nuts on top and cover with whipped cream or ice cream

    I have a great upside down paer cake recipe.

    Make a caramel in the botton of a round cake tin (cook ~150g sugar with water until it caramelises). Place peeled pears on the caramel.
    Pour a normal sponge batter on top. Cook the normal time for the spong and turn the right way up when cooked.
    Yum!
