Very tasty. This was a little sweet for me but the rest of the family and company loved the amount of sweetness.
Excellent desert super easy
Made this for Christmas lunch and it is delicious. Very easy and has wonderful flavor!
Was easy to prepare and came out perfect the first time.
Made this for Christmas dessert, was super easy and fast – didn’t peel the pears and only used 1/2 c. sugar inside, it was awesome, everyone loved it.
I made this for a dinner party and it was a huge success!! Made the recipe as written and wouldn’t change a thing, it tasted great.
Made this for my family Christmas brunch, it was such a HUGE hit! There wasn’t a sliced pear or cranberry left. It was delicious!!!
Very good and love all of the different flavors in it. Next time I would only put half the sugar in the fruit mixture, very sweet. Grated fresh nutmeg on top as well.
I saw this on TV and had to make it! I’ve made it twice since Christmas and my family lover it!
Very easy recipe and delicious! Made for this year’s Christmas dessert.
