Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 c fresh homemade pear preserves.
3 c self rising flour
1 1/2 stick butter, softened
1/2 c shortening
1 tsp salt
1 c warm water
1 egg

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350* In a large bowl add your flour,butter,shortening, salt,then slowly add the warm water. Mix your ingredients together until your dough comes together.
  • 2. Turn out the dough onto a large floured cutting bord then roll out the dough (you can roll out the dough as thick or thin as you like. Then place dough into a greased pie pan.
  • 3. Add your pear preserves into the unbaked pie crust then roll out some of the extra dough to make the criss/crossed crust. Just to add something extra to the pear pie I rolled out the remaining dough an cut out a design of 2 pears an placed them in the center of the pie, then brushed over the crust with egg wash.
  • 4. Bake pie for 25-30 mins until crust is golden brown then serve pie while hot with a big scoop of old fashion vanilla ice cream. Just know this... It's sinful!
