EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

*To toast almonds, heat oven to 350°F. Spread almonds in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

Serve with whipped topping or a scoop of your favorite ice cream.

Because this recipe calls for a ripe pear, it requires a bit of planning. Store-bought pears may take up to 1 week to ripen.

LOVED THIS!! And it was sooo easy. I really like the almond flavor, so i added just a little bit to the fruit mixture. I may not have gotten the best pears as they did not get as soft as i would have liked, but otherwise perfect!!
