Its in the oven now,to prepare the pie is very easy it took longer then 10 mins to prepare that was due to the peeling and slicing of the pears but everything else was very smooth.My husband loves pears so i thought this would be something he would enjoy at the moment the only thing i can say about it,is that its very simple to make.I will let ya'll know how it turns out.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"06\/25\/2011 17:50","GUID":"9da1b36791a645ae9931a500b60e365f","MemberId":6050803,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"theresa28","SubmittedDate":"06\/25\/2011 17:50"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"03\/19\/2011 15:02","GUID":"86b476eaa6d94d64889dee2cba9a279e","MemberId":1809251,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"EmilyR369","SubmittedDate":"03\/19\/2011 15:02"},{"Comment":"

Used sharp cheddar, and this pie was amazing! The only thing I didn't like was the over-browning on the top by the time the pie was finished. But the flavor....YUM!

Oh, my gosh! This pie is delicious! It is easy to make and the pears provide such a lovely taste! I used sharp cheddar cheese (only 1\/4 cup) as that is all I had in the refrigerator, and it was so good.<\/p>","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"","GUID":"72270329cab1428d9c428974723f8e3a","MemberId":3313516,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Susie J","SubmittedDate":"08\/08\/2008 12:30"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":24,"DateRated":"09\/20\/2006 21:25","GUID":"8f8074fb90e047e190b0e219c91deb18","MemberId":1528490,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Kay","SubmittedDate":"09\/20\/2006 21:25"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":25,"DateRated":"09\/16\/2006 11:38","GUID":"5b06a843b1e64d14af61105ae06c7d88","MemberId":1514498,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"aricka","SubmittedDate":"09\/16\/2006 11:38"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":26,"DateRated":"06\/29\/2006 23:18","GUID":"4FC7AF1D10874ADDEB918B7407E6031E","MemberId":76030,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sechelt","SubmittedDate":"06\/29\/2006 23:18"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":27,"DateRated":"03\/02\/2006 15:33","GUID":"343e2f33e22443b0a361ab08f99d6d12","MemberId":1207327,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Ann","SubmittedDate":"03\/02\/2006 15:33"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":28,"DateRated":"11\/29\/2005 19:06","GUID":"819E7F0F18434E099E6A914BEE12B661","MemberId":259640,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"suspenselover","SubmittedDate":"11\/29\/2005 19:06"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":309177,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":309112,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Browse Taste Recipes recipes by course, cooking style, cuisine, ingredient, holiday and more categories to find a new family-favorite recipe.","parent":0,"count":51278,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/"},{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
