I often forget just how much my family loves pears. Every year I wish I would purchase more than I did the year before, it just never seems to be enough!
This year was definitely no exception! I purchased 20 pounds from Azure Standard with the intent of canning some pear butter. Thankfully I was able to make a few batches of Almond Pear Scones and some Easy Pear Crisp for a potluck. I finally recreated the Easy Pear Crisp recipe tonight so I could snap photos and record the real measurements. 
Note to self:: Next year purchase at least 60 pounds of pears!

Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream and it’s pretty close heaven.

Perfect Timing. I have 5 pears in my fridge that are almost to ripe. I think I’ll make this for dessert tonight. We love pears too!
