Speaking of recipes... what to do with a peck of pears?

GreenFlamingo7 · September 2011

We have a little over a peck of pears. So far I have made pear tarts and a pear, proscuitto, and goat cheese pizza. I have a plan for a pear, blue cheese, and pecan bruscetta for tomorrow night and a pear strata for saturday (thank you Cooking Light magazine!) but I am still going to have several pounds of pears left. I need ideas ladies!

Cook puree and freeze. You can feed to baby or toss in smoothies.

Forgot to mention I already have cubes in the freezer. Embarrassed

Pear puree works great in muffins to keep them moist; you can halve the amount of oil and sub with the puree. Just puree and freeze so you'll always have some on hand when you're baking.
