No sieve used here! This recipe uses all but the core of the pear, and has a nice texture and taste. Adjust the amount of orange rind to your liking.

ORIGINALLY a pear crumble pie, I shortened this to a crumble when I often was too short of time to make a pie crust. I've also found canned pears work as well as fresh, so that makes it even easier to prepare. -Kezia Sullivan, Sackets Harbor, New York

Try this sweet, rich colored, butter-like spread made with ripe pears and a hint of lemon Liqueur. So easy to make and oh so good on toast or hot biscuits. If you prefer a lighter colored butter use white sugar in place of brown sugar.

Pear butter is lightly scented with orange and nutmeg. This is an old recipe from a dear friend. Its taste is so good in toast or even on top of steak or chicken.

Fresh Pear Crisp

Submitted by: Mildred Sherrer 
Mildred Sherrer's comforting fruit crisp is a pared-down version of one her mother used to fix. 'I made it healthier by using reduced-fat margarine, fresh pears instead of canned and oats for some of the flour,' she explains from Fort Worth, Texas. As a finishing touch, she suggests topping it with fat-free yogurt or whipped cream.
