Ingredients
- one recipe pie crust pastry for a 9 inch double crust
- 5 large pears firm, not mushy and sliced to .5 inch thickness, with or without peels
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 4 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch cloves
- 1 pinch ginger
- 3 tablespoons spiced rum optional
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Slice the pears to a half centimeter thickness. Toss together the pears, sugar,cornstarch, spices and rum.
- Prepare the bottom pie crust by placing into the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate.
- Take the pears and place into the pie plate, arranging the pears into even layers. Pour any remaining liquid on top. Dab the butter on top
- This pie works best with a lattice crust to help you get rid of the excess moisture from the pears and the rum. You can also simply cover it with the entire crust and place 3-4 vents in the top as well. Seal the edges by crimping.
- Using the lowest rack of your oven, bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for about 50-55 minutes more.
- When your pie edges start to become too brown cover the edges with tinfoil or use a pie crust cover.Continue baking until you see the pie filling bubbling and your pie is beautifully browned all over the top.Remove from the oven and cool on a baking rack.
