I used a 7x11 pan and it worked just fine. I used about 1 1\/2 cups chopped pears and only had ginger in a tube, and used a little more than 1\/2 tsp.

Love the crust - came out crispy and delicious. Call me crazy, but I saw \"peach\" in the title instead of \"pear\", so I proceeded with my peach plan until I actually read the recipe while making it. By then, it was too late, as I already had thawed peaches that I had in the freezer and to sate my guilt of not using pears, I added 1\/2 of a chopped apple (kinda close to the pear, right?). Results....came out great and tasty and I wouldn't let not having pears come in the way.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-09-23","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BlueBone"},"reviewBody":"Easy and good.
