My first pear pie ever--it's better, more delicate and complex in flavor, than apple pie. I was worried about these organic D'anjou pears being too unripe and hard for this, but my concern was in vain! I actually think using ripe pears would have been more of a mess, a pain to peel, and more liquidy at the end. But this pie turned out wonderfully even though I forgot to actually "measure" out the five cups of pear because I couldn't stand to see them oxidize. I just winged it, mounding the slices slightly in the center and of course sprinkling the sugar mixture on every layer. My friend said that it is "excellent" pie (and he's a bit hard to please), and I asked if it's his new favorite pie (taking the place of strawberry-rhubarb pie)... :)
