PEAR CRISPS WITH DRIED SOUR CHERRIES

Provided by Claudia Fleming

Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Pear     Cherry     Almond     Red Wine     Fall     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup dried sour cherries
Water or fruity red wine, such as a Zinfandel, to cover
8 ripe pears, (about 2 1/4 pounds), peeled, cored, and sliced (5 cups)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon coarsely ground almonds, toasted
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan, combine the cherries with enough water or wine (or a combination) to cover them by 2 inches. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then turn off the heat and let cool. Let the cherries soak overnight in the refrigerator, or for at least 8 hours, until they are plump and soft. Drain the cherries, reserving the juices.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine the pears, drained cherries, and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and toss well. Mix in 1/2 of the cherry soaking liquid, or whatever cherry soaking liquid is left plus enough water to make 1/2 cup. Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, the flour, almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Slowly drizzle in the butter and stir with a fork until the mixture is crumbly and all the flour is incorporated. Do not allow the mixture to come together in a ball. Break up any large crumbs with your fingers. The crumbs should be smaller than 1 inch in size (otherwise they won't cook all the way through).
  • 4. Spoon the fruit into eight 8-ounce ramekins and place them on a baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle the crumbs on top of the fruit. Bake the crisps until the filling is bubbling and the topping is browned, about 40 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm pears: This will ensure that they hold their shape during baking and provide a sweet, juicy flavor.
  • Use a variety of dried cherries: Tart cherries will add a pop of flavor, while sweet cherries will provide a more mellow sweetness.
  • Don't overmix the custard: Overmixing will result in a tough, rubbery texture. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the crisp until the custard is set and the topping is golden brown: This will ensure that the crisp is cooked through and has a delicious, crispy texture.
  • Serve the crisp warm or at room temperature: This will allow the flavors to fully meld and develop.

Conclusion:

The Pear and Dried Cherry Custard Crisp is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart flavors, crispy topping, and creamy custard filling, this crisp is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
