  • Roll out smaller piece of dough on a lightly floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin into a roughly 16- by 11-inch rectangle. Cut crosswise into 12 (1-inch-wide) strips with a pastry wheel or a sharp knife. Stir mincemeat, then spoon into shell in an even layer. Weave a lattice pattern over pie with pastry strips.

SPICED PEAR AND RAISIN PIE



Spiced Pear and Raisin Pie image

Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Raisin     Pear     Fall     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup pear nectar
3/4 cup (packed) raisins
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3 1/4 pounds ripe pears, peeled, quartered, cored, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 Easy Pastry Dough disks
1 egg, beaten to blend (for glaze)

Steps:

  • Position rack in lowest third of oven; preheat to 400°F. Boil nectar in heavy medium saucepan until reduced to 1/3 cup, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Pour into large bowl; mix in raisins. Cool completely. Mix in sugar and next 5 ingredients, then pears.
  • Roll out 1 dough disk on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Brush inside and top edge of crust with some of glaze. Spoon filling into crust. Roll out second dough disk on floured surface to 13-inch round. Arrange dough over filling. Seal top crust to bottom crust at edge of dish. Trim double overhang to 3/4 inch. Fold under; crimp edge. Using small knife, cut slits in top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush crust and edge with glaze. If desired, roll out any dough scraps and cut out small pear-shaped decorations. Press decorations onto edge of crust.
  • Bake pie until pears are tender, covering crust with foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Place on rack; cool completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears for the best flavor. If your pears are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with an apple at room temperature for a few days.
  • If you don't have any raisins on hand, you can substitute dried cranberries or cherries.
  • To make the lattice crust, you will need to roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Then, use a sharp knife to cut 12 evenly spaced 1-inch wide strips from the dough. Place 6 of the strips horizontally across the pie filling, spacing them evenly apart. Then, place the remaining 6 strips vertically across the pie filling, weaving them over and under the horizontal strips. Trim any excess dough and tuck it under the edges of the pie.
  • Brush the top of the pie crust with milk and sprinkle it with sugar before baking. This will give the crust a golden brown color and a crispy texture.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

This pear and raisin mince pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and juicy pears, the plump and chewy raisins, and the warm and fragrant spices combine to create a truly unforgettable flavor experience. The lattice crust adds a touch of elegance and makes this pie a real showstopper. Whether you are serving it to your family and friends or taking it to a potluck, this pear and raisin mince pie is sure to be a hit.
