It's pear picking time! We got hundreds of pears off our Barlett Pear tree this past weekend and were very excited to pull out one of our favorite pear recipes...pear pie! I'll be sharing a lot of our favorite pear recipes in the weeks to come (I could seriously write a cookbook on pear recipes alone!), but here is one we get tons of compliments on every time we make it and LOVE to eat! 
INGREDIENTS:
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 2 Tbsp flour
* 1/4 tsp ground ginger
* 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
* 7 pears- pealed, cored, and sliced
* 2 (9 in) unbaked pie crusts
* 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
* 1/4 tsp white sugar
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine first amount of sugar, flour, ginger, and cinnamon. Add pears and toss.
3. Place mixture in uncooked bottom shell, sprinkle with lemon juice and top with unbaked pastry. Cut slits in top and sprinkle with 2nd amount of sugar.
4. Bake on bottom shelf of oven at 350 for 60 minutes, or until pears are cooked and crust is browned. Let cool and serve.
Buon Appetito!!!
