TRIPLE PEAR PIE

Triple Pear Pie image

One year, I won a giveaway and received three kinds of pears. After sharing a few with family, I used the rest to prepare a pie for our dessert at Easter that year. Put this together with some vanilla ice cream and it's the perfect pairing! -Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California
