Why set the pear upon those river banks
Or spice the shores with odors of the plum?
From the poem Recuerdo by Edna Saint Vincent Millay
When I got these pears home, I baked a Creole Pear Tatin. It was wonderful and here is the recipe:

William, I wasn't even hungry before I visited your photo, and read this mouth-watering recipe! Sounds wonderful, and these are just the kind of flavorful pears to use. Seems like the ones that are a bit rough around the edges have the best flavor. Nice photo! voted
William Fields replied:
Thanks Cheri, this has become a favorite around here especially when pears are in season but we make any time we can find them in the grocery as well. Promise to make one for you when you come to visit!
