Can't get the link to work Marko.
Claire,Kadesma, a favorite desert when I was a kid was a pear, halved, peeled, and cored (because of many places we live, sometimes they were canned) with a scoop of cottage cheese holding the halves together and a piece of green onion stuck on top as the stem. We thought this particularly elegant, and Mom kept telling us it was a salad, not desert. At the time I hated cottage cheese, but loved this.
xmascarol,We had that in the 50's growing up, but I didn't know it had a name. It was always on a lettuce leaf too. I never eat cottage cheese but what I long for a pear with it. Mom's canned pears supply never made it past January, and then we had to start on the peaches.
Hi Corazon,
I`m new to this food chatline or mesage board so I hope I`m managing to do things right and post a message to you all the way from Scotland.
Last month I made a pear and custard tart - flan ring lined with shortcrust pastry and baked blind or part baked (sorry, but I`m not sure what the American terminology is!); pears: peeled, halved and cored and layed on the flan base, custard (mix of milk, cream, sugar, eggs and egg yolk, flavoured with a shaving of nutmeg and pinch of cinnamon) poured on top. I then baked it until the custard was set. It was delicious both hot and cold.
I ended up making some salads with candied walnuts and blue cheese (the grilled pears were awesome!)*amy* said:Corazon, what did you wind up making with your pears?
