Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup(s) sugar
1/4 cup(s) cornstarch
2 teaspoon(s) grated lemon peel
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) crushed aniseed
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) lemon juice
5 cup(s) thinly sliced peeled ripe pears (about 5 medium)
- pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
FOR THE GLAZE
1/2 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
2-3 teaspoon(s) lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, lemon peel, aniseed and lemon juice. Add pears and toss gently.
  • Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; trim even with edge of plate. Add filling. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top.
  • Bake at 400° for 40-45 minutes or until filling is bubbly and pears are tender. Cover edges with foil during the last 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Combine glaze ingredients; gently spread over hot pie. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator.
