Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 hi, i posted, a while ago, a recipe for a fresh apple cake and that recipe works very well if you substitute the pears for the apples. in addition i could tell you a host of other revipes for desserts. just let me know what you want. i have recipes for everything from cakes to pies to poached pears and cobbler. let me know. shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Well I just made one of the apple cake recipes with pears and it is just too darned good. I made the one with eggs but substituted 4 egg whites for the 2 eggs, used 1/2 cup unsweetened pear sauce (also made from the pears) for the butter/oil and 1 heaping 1/2 cup measure of Sugar Twin for the 1 cup sugar and half whole wheat flour/ half white. Like most fatfree things it has a more chewy/dense texture but I don't mind that at all. I didn't use the nuts or raisins and I don't miss them at all. Tres yummy! and only like 120 calories for a 1/8th serving. Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 We love poached pears. Simmer 2c water w/1c sugar until dissolved. Add whatever flavorings - fresh sliced ginger, star anise, vanilla beans, lemongrass, cinnamon sticks...whatever. Add peeled, halved, seeded pears & simmer gently 15 minutes. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. THEN, you can take the leftovers, puree & freeze - you have sorbet!!! I have just picked about 20 lbs of pears so who's got some good low-cal pear recipes?????

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I once had a recipe for a ginger-pear compote that was outta this world. But I can't find it. I DID stumble across this website, tho: http://www.justfruitrecipes.com/inxper-page01.html. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
