This is great if you prefer a fruit version of the standard mincemeat recipe.


5 pounds of Bartlett or Bosch Pears - peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
1 orange - peeled and chopped
1 pound of seedless raisins (currants might work too)
4 cups sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons each of Ground Cinnamon and Allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons of Ground Nutmeg
1 teaspoon each of Ground Ginger and Ground Cloves

Combine everything in a large pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer (leaving the pot uncovered) for 2 hours or until very thick. Stirring occasionaly.
Cool, pack into containers and freeze.

For Pie filling
4 cups pear mince and 1 tablespoon of butter in unbaked pie crust, cover with second crust and bake at 425 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

Have you actually made this Toni? I really want to try it, being a mince-fiend, but I always like to know that someone has worked out the kinks in a recipe, lol!

This recipe is definitely on my file and on the list to make as desert when our winter comes.

I can just imagine the lovely pear pie with loads of custard. Yummy.

Thanks for this recipe Toni, thanks to you I will be the first one to make a pear pie. (We normally have apple pie, apple crumble, etc. always apple.)
