1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 firm ripe medium pears, peeled, sliced (6 cups)
1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/4 cup dark rum, apple juice or apple cider
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup cold butter or margarine, cut into pieces
