SPICED PEAR UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
My friend and neighbor Laurie gave me this recipe from her Aunt Lucille, who lives in Texas, it is a clipping from a magazine. I don't think it is from a cookbook -it is hard to tell as it looks like it used to be shinier paper. This is such an easy recipe that I thought you might like to try it too!
