Dessert in progress......

and finished!

Ready for presentation!

You can find the recipe here on an earlier blog post. I think one reason I like pears is because they come in season in the fall when Mom and I have our birthdays.

I had lots of help from Mom in slicing the pears for this dessert! I made a double recipe since the almond paste comes in 8 oz cans and using prepared pie crusts, which come in boxes of 2!

An Invitation!

Calling all hungry friends, near and far!



I plan to be baking this Pear Frangipane Crostada Recipe today as it is cool and rainy....almost time for an autumn tea.
The "frangipane" means almond custard and the almond paste was rather dear....so my next attempt may be a simple pear crostada...but today, we are "going for it". Please do come..say about 4:00 pm???
