PEAR MINCEMEAT DESSERT
While going through some old cookbooks, this hand-scribbled note fell out. Boy, does this bring back memories! I made this as a Christmas dessert way back when, shortly after I got married. I bet it's still a yummy dessert! The beauty of this dessert is you can make it for just you, for a few, or for a lot.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a glass baking dish, place one bartlett pear half, well drained from a tin, for each serving-- place with the cavity up.
- For each pear half, place one tbsp mincemeat (use a good quality product) in a small mixing bowl and add 1/2 tsp brandy for each tbsp of mincemeat; you don't have to use the brandy, though, if you don't want to, or you can substitute another spirit for the brandy (try Grand Marnier, or port).
- Stir brandy and mincemeat together, then place one tbsp into the cavity in each pear half.
- Bake pears for 20 minutes; serve warm, with lots of freshly whipped cream (if your waistline can take it).

Steps:
- Make mincemeat:
- Stir together all ingredients except pastry dough and chill in an airtight container, stirring at least once a day for at least 3 days.
- Make pie:
- Put oven rack in middle position. Put a large baking sheet on rack and preheat oven to 425°F.
- Roll out larger piece of dough (keep remaining piece chilled) on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round, then fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Chill shell while rolling out smaller piece of dough for top crust.
- Roll out smaller piece of dough on a lightly floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin into a roughly 16- by 11-inch rectangle. Cut crosswise into 12 (1-inch-wide) strips with a pastry wheel or a sharp knife. Stir mincemeat, then spoon into shell in an even layer. Weave a lattice pattern over pie with pastry strips.
- Trim edges of strips flush with edge of bottom crust. Fold bottom crust up over edges of lattice and decoratively crimp.
- Bake pie on hot baking sheet 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and cover edge of pie with a pie shield or foil if it begins to brown too quickly. Continue to bake until crust is golden brown and filling begins to bubble around edge, about 1 hour more. Transfer pie to a rack and cool to warm or room temperature, about 2 hours. Serve pie warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Put pears into a non-stick frying pan with 2 tbsp sugar and 2 tbsp water. Cover, then cook over a medium heat for 10 mins until just tender, stirring every so often. There shouldn't be juices once the pears are cooked. Add the spice; leave to cool.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Butter then line the base and sides of a 20cm round, deep cake tin. Put butter, sugar, vanilla and ¼ tsp salt into a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand whisk until pale and fluffy. Add eggs and flour, beat until smooth, then fold in almonds with a spoon. Remove 85g batter and put into a small bowl. Into this add the plain flour and chop into the mix with a cutlery knife to make a soft, crumbly-looking mix.
- Spoon half the cake mix into the tin, top with half the pears, dot over half the mincemeat, then dollop the rest of the cake mix on top. Scatter with remaining pears, mincemeat, then the crumble mix. Sprinkle with final 1 tbsp sugar. Bake for 1½ hrs, covering with foil after 1 hr, until golden, risen and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then cool on a rack. Keep it in the lining paper, as this will help it stay moist. Will keep, well wrapped in an airtight tin, for 5 days. Freeze for 1 month.
