These pears are very simple to prepare, but so elegant, assures Edna Lee of Greeley, Colorado. I love to serve them when fresh raspberries are in season. They make a beautiful presentation for special occasions and are always well liked by both young and old. TIP: I've occasionally used home-canned pear halves and no one ever knows the difference, Edna says.

I HAD an abundant pear crop last summer, so I was on the lookout for pear recipes. I ended up devising one of my own by substituting pears for apples in a chunky applesauce recipe. I usually serve it at lunch instead of a rich dessert and also find it makes a refreshing side dish. -Leila Ryan, McDonough, Georgia

Minted Pears

Submitted by: Mary Selner 
My grandmother would use food coloring to make red and green pears only at Christmastime, and I enjoy carrying on her tradition. When I prepare this for a salad, I fill the centers with fresh fruit, fruit cocktail or cottage cheese. As a dessert, there are more options...a dab of whipping cream with a cherry on top, a drizzle of chocolate on top of the whipped cream or a scoop of sherbet in a contrasting color. -Mary Selner, Green Bay, Wisconsin
