DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart casserole dish or 9 inch square baking dish.
In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 1 teaspoon crystallized ginger, and cinnamon. Stir in the butter until the mixture is crumbly with pea sized lumps. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, stir together the white sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and 2 teaspoons of crystallized ginger. Add the sliced pears, and toss to blend. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Spread with the oat topping.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until pears are soft and topping is golden brown. Cool slightly before serving with vanilla ice cream.

The pairing of fresh pears and crystallized ginger are simply beautiful! A classic,"comfort" dessert, with enough elegance to serve for company. I had misplaced a similar recipe years ago, and I was so happy to find yours, Jayda. Thank-you! (I did increase the amount of finely chopped crystallized ginger to a full Tbsp for each tsp stated in recipe. Delicious!)

Delicious! I thought the amount of ginger was just right without increasing it. I added a handful of dried cranberries to the pear mixture and that was a wonderful touch of tang and color.

I did as others who reviewed this recipe suggested and doubled the amount of crystalized gigner in both steps. I also added about 1/4 tsp. ground ginger and 1/4 tsp. allspice. I also added an additional tablespoon of butter to the oatmeal/flour topping. I think these changes really made the difference. We enjoyed this recipe. It's a nice change from the typical apple cobblers and crisps.

I skipped the ginger, because I'm not a fan of it, and this came out very tasty. I would use less cinnamon next time to have more pear taste.

Oh my, this is soooooooooo good! I doubled the ginger and also added some chopped toasted almonds and hazlenuts to the oats mixture. I also subbed 1/3 of the pears for chopped apples and it was so delicious.. I had it with fresh cream as I didn't have any ice cream on hand, I can't wait to make it again!!

I would have liked to see more "juice" with the pears. It was very dry without the vanilla ice cream. Also I doubled the ginger.

Good basic recipe. I also added some dried cranberries which gave a nice boost of color. I did not increase the ginger, but will do so next time. Very yummy way to use extra pears.

Super yummy, everyone loved it! I used half Bartlett, half Anjou pears - made for a nice contrast Also, I added a little allspice and a bit extra ginger to both the pears and topping. Since some said the pears were slightly dry, I added about 2 tbsp pear butter as well - delicious! Will definitely make again! :o)

After reading the other reviews, I used much more crystallized ginger (about 3 tablespoons). Loved the taste - the ginger and pears go together very well. However, I felt it was too dry. I might try this with more butter and less flour combined with the pears.
