Pear Extravaganza!

 I bought some pears and canned them, but I had a few left over. I made a pear cobbler, which tasted a lot like apple cobbler. Francois loved it because I don't make fruit desserts a lot because in order to qualify as dessert to me it needs to have chocolate in it, but he loves fruit desserts.

My canned pears turned out very pretty. I just want to display them, not eat them!

Then after a couple of days I made a Pear Gorgonzola Tart. I don't usually make things quite this exotic, but I liked it. It was kind of a mix of salty and sweet with a crunchy crust. Probably not something that you would make for your kids, but it might be fun for a ladies lunch. I got the recipe from Food Network.

Here is the picture of the one I made (I didn't use my tart pan for some reason, but a regular pie pan. And I browned my prosciutto, which I know is weird but it's a texture thing).

And here is the picture from Food Network. Mine is not nearly as pretty, but that's ok!
