Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 Bosc pears -- rinsed, cored & cut into 1 " cubes

1 cup dried pears -- (packed cup) coarsely chopped

3/4 cup golden raisins

1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar

1/2 cup honey

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup rolled oats -- old-fashioned or quick cooking (not

instant)

8 tablespoons chilled butter -- cut into small pieces

1 pint best-quality store-bought vanilla ice

cream or The World's Best Vanilla Ice

Cream (pg 171)

 

Place the fresh and dried pears, raisins, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, and the

honey in the insert of the slow cooker. Stir well, cover, and cook on high for

3 1/2 hours or until the fruit is soft. Turn off the slow cooker and carefully

remove the insert from the base. Place a mesh strainer or colander over a saute

pan and pour in the contents of the insert. Return the fruit to the insert,

leaving the juice in the saute pan.

 

Bring the cooking juice to a boil over high heat. Cook, stirring, until the

juice becomes thick and syrupy and begins to caramelize. Remove from the heat.

 

Preheat the oven to 350ºF with a rack at the center position. Put the flour,

oats, and remaining 1 cup of brown sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Stir with a

fork to combine. Use your fingers to work in the butter until the mixture

resembles coarse meal.

 

Distribute the topping over the pear mixture in the insert. Bake for 30 minutes

until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Serve in bowls

topping with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle some of the hot reduced

cooking juices over the ice cream.
