Alabama NewsCenter — Perfect pears: These recipes from 6 Alabama cooks range from sweet to surprising

By: Alabama Living

Peggy Key of Grant says she’s been making her recipe for Fresh Pear Cobbler for more than 20 years. The original recipe came from a newspaper, but it’s so old that by now it’s yellowed with age.

Picking her own pears was easy years ago when her family had pear trees, but now she, like many of us, is able to get Bosc pears year-round in the grocery store. The cobbler makes its own crust as it spreads out while baking and is especially tasty with ice cream on top.

Key says the recipe can also be easily adapted for diabetics or anyone who needs to watch their sugar intake, by substituting a sugar substitute for the brown sugar in the pear mixture and in the batter.
