Recipes starting with P

Pears are an underrated dessert fruit, according to a local pastry chef.  Here they dance in combination with a perfect partner:  almonds. 

There's something seductive about pears and almnds together, like they were born to love each other.  This tart will arouse applause from those lucky enough to be served a slice!

Creamy rich meets slight crunch.  Chocolate meets peanuts.  And they live happily ever after.  A blue-ribbon pie!"

Peach pie is my favorite, made with ripe, juicy, flavorful peaches.  This recipe saves those perfect peaches from summer time as frozen slices so that you can enjoy great peach pie all year.  Really, I was pleasantly surprised at how good this is!  The judges thought so, too, giving it a blue ribbon at the state fair this year.

What makes it perfect? It's silky smooth, and has the traditional pumpkin flavor with an almost voluptuous mouth feel. Oh! Whipped cream on top would be gilding the lily, but what the heck. Won a blue ribbon at the state fair in 2002.

This crust recipe is tried and true:  flaky and light, with just enough salt to complement a sweet pie or tart.  Complete directions are included, so even a novice baker can be proud!
