Pear Recipes

"STOP CLICKING for Pears"




pear-recipes.html Pear recipes a consolidated list of recipes using fresh pears. It's a recipe search by ingredient page you would land on if you put "pears" in the search box.

Italian cakes and fruit dessert recipes are the main categories I have dessert recipes focusing on fresh pears.

All my Italian dessert recipes are tested and proven successful. Some of the desserts I test a lot :-).

A couple of things to note about working with pears. They will brown pretty quick once you cut them. You can avoid this by:

  • Using lemon juice
  • Using Fruit Fresh

    • Fruit Fresh is a product that has citric acid in it. You sprinkle it on your pears and it keeps them from oxidizing. It's pretty easy to find. Look for it in your baking section. And if you are lucky enough to have a whole section devoted to canning and freezing - look there.

    Most of these recipes need firm NOT mushy pears. Mushy pears get real grainy when you work with them. The only recipe you might be able to get away with this is - the pear jam recipe. But usually you need to look for firm pears with NO brown spots on the outside!

    If this wasn't exactly what you were looking for check out my homepage of Italian Dessert Recipes. I have over 150 recipes with photos and step-by-step directions on my site - so browse around.

    Lisa Gianotti Fathers Day I can already tell you the main recipes that are viewed on Italian Dessert Recipes during the last few weeks before Fathers Day - CHOCOLATE desserts, CHOCOLATE CAKES, CHOCOLATE cheesecake - basically anything chocolate.

    Not sure why we think men need chocolate. But, it's a cyclical. I see it every year - all my chocolate dessert recipes get the highest viewings.

    So, to give you some ideas - here's what most of us cook for our men on Fathers Day:

    Recipe for Chocolate Cheesecake (I love this because it uses sour cream, and makes the chocolate have the bittersweet deep end flavor

    Chocolate Walnut Cake

    Chocolate Buttermilk Cake (Uses 3 sticks of butter - I make this about 4 times a year!)

    And if you don't want chocolate? Another great holiday cake, that I make for celebrations:

    Italian Rum Cake (Give yourself a day ahead of time to make this. It needs to soak about 24 hours to flavor.)
