This was quite nice but it's pretty sweet. Has a dessert-ish quality.

This is Divine! Instead of evaporated milk I used just a splash or two of half and half when cooking the pears and did not use ANY sugar-the pears are sweet enough. I will be making this again and again!

Wow, this one stole the show from the Turkey!! My dad went for three helpings and so this recipe will make it all the way to Switzerland since my parents just have to have it!! Due to time constraints I also used canned pears but it didn't seem to hurt the recipe at all. I will make this one over and over again. Thank you for sharing!

Very good! Note to self: Omit the milk to make them a bit stiffer. When scaled down to 3 servings (which is more like 6 for a side dish on a holiday) use 3 small sweet potatoes, 1 1/2 pears simmered in a tablespoon of water and 3/4 tsp vanilla until tender, a tablespoon of butter and a little less than 1/4 tsp cinnamon.

I usually don't bother making sweet potatoes because my family doesn't care for the traditional overly sweet versions topped with marshmallows. Everyone really liked this recipe. It can be made ahead of time and I think it tastes even better reheated a couple of days later.

A new twist on an old favorite. I loved adding the pears.....I even used an extra one. I didn't have enough sweet potatoes on hand (I used canned), so I added canned sliced carrots to the mix and it turned out great. I'm taking it to work tomorrow for Christmas dinner.

This turned out really tasty is a little sweet But the kids loved it. I used fresh pears but canned would work just as well.

Great change from the traditional sweet potato holiday grind. Have made this with less milk with no problem.

This recipe got rave reviews at Thanksgiving. It's a nice twist on mashed sweet pototoes. I used 1/2 canned pears and 1/2 Anjou pears. Instead of OJ I used the pear juice leftover in the can. Easy and yummy!!
