Many of my recipes are based upon what's in the larder. Last night I was to attend a gathering where I was to bring a dessert. I wanted something lite, post holiday. So I looked around. I found some pears, some blueberries, and a lemon that I wanted to use, so here's what I came up with:
3 15oz cans pears (in lite syrup) drained
1 cup frozen blueberries (defrosted, and drained)
1 whole lemon for juice
1 Tbs. Cinnamon
1 tsp mint leaf
1/2 tsp stevia
*optional 1/2 cup walnuts
Combine ingredients in a bowl, Pam a baking dish, and place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1/2 hour. It turns the pears a deep purple, and to me is blueberry pears, as you have the flavor of blueberries with the texture of the pears. It was served warm last night. Today I finished the little amount left cold, and it tasted even better.

About Me
- eggplant43
- Thermopolis, Wyoming, United States
- Born in Berkeley, California in 1943, thus the 43.I spent my 20'S traveling around the world with the US Army. I then did social work in California, creating a therapeutic community for schizophrenics. We grew as much of our own food as possible, and did all the cooking. After closing the program 5 year later, I became a financial planner. When the opportunity arose to move from the Bay Area, and the urban crush it was becoming, even in the 70's I hopped at the opportunity. We moved to Thermopolis, WY, population 3500 souls, with one stop light. I started a professional cleaning business in 1979, and spent the next 26 years cleaning peoples messes, restoring structures from fires and floods, and maintaining homes and businesses.Through all these years, cooking and gardening were central to my being, as they are today.Last year I retired, so now I finally have time to blog.

I have done something similar with golden delicious apples and frozen blueberries. It turned reddish, and went over well with family when served as a cobbler with a topping of shortcake. I heated the fruit with some cinnamon and brown sugar until bubbly in the oven, then added the sweet biscuit crust. A nice alternative to pie!
