Summer is still in full force here in Minnesota. Yesterday we had temperatures in the upper 80’s and some pretty heavy thunderstorms blew in late last night.

And although I’m still very much enjoying summer, I won’t deny that I’m getting excited about fall as well!

It truly is my favorite season.

So I thought I would combine a little bit of late summer and a little bit of fall into one VERY delicious recipe and share it with you all today!

Pears have definitely been in great abundance at our local grocery this year.

Unfortunately, pears are one of those fruits that I’m just not a big fan of for baking. Oftentimes they are not very ripe when I buy them. And by the time they have ripened enough to have any flavor at all, they are actually too ripe to bake with.
