This comes from my friend Susan Martinez, who slays her guests with this pie.
VANILLA BEAN PEAR PIE
by Susan Martinez <sem@aps1.spa.umn.edu>
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 2 tablespoons flour
* 5 cups fresh, sliced, peeled pears (about 2.5 lb)
* 1/2 cups fresh sliced strawberries (optional)
* 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* Pastry or pie crust for 9-inch pie plate
After peeling and coring the pears, slice them lengthwise about 1/8"
thick. Don't slice them too thick or the pie won't cook to be soft
enough, not too thin or the pears will disappear as they cook. (Of
course, it all depends on the ripeness of the pear and how it feels.)
Combine sugar and flour. In large bowl, sprinkle lemon juice over
sliced pears (but not strawberries if you add them). Toss with
sugar/flour mixture to coat fruit. Fill 9-inch pastry-lined pie plate
with pear mixture. Use something deep.
Arrange sliced strawberries over pear filling.
* 1/2 cup flour
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 2 teaspoons ground vanilla bean (or something like Cook's Vanilla
Powder)
* 1/4 cup butter
In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, and ground vanilla bean. Add
butter and toss until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle
vanilla mixture evenly over pear filling.
Cover edge of pie with foil. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Remove foil
from edge of pie and bake an additional 25-30 minutes until pie is
bubbly and crust is golden and you just can't stand how heavenly your
place smells. :-)
Allow to cool completely on wire rack before serving. Think twice
about having invited all your friends to share in this scruptiousness.
I love to noodle with recipes; I've made this sans strawberries and
adding a wee bit o' cardamom and cinnamon in with the fruit portion.
Mmmmmm!
