I get that when my husband is home. He can eat the whole thing by himself
in two days. Also get the plain pineapple for him. Pineapple doesn't
bother him. He lived in Hawaii for a while. For Angela I just get the
sliced apples and the canned pears. She likes to eat the apples with
hummus.

Today at Rite Aid we got some cups of canned pears with spoons attached.
She took one in her lunch today. She LOVES canned pears!

a girl wit good taste, canned pears are a gift from g*d if you ask me, i
love them poached with some smelly cheese on top, is it you or here that
can't eat dary? i also love canned pears treated like you would apple pie
filling but no crust, either eat plain or over ice creamon the rare occasion
i eat that... just wonderful, Lee

We outgrew the dairy allergy but can have it twice a week.

As a kid, I would make chocolate pudding so that it was really thick. Have
to do the cooked kind to get that. I don't normally like pudding as is. I
would take a package that serves 4 and cook it down to 2 servings. I would
then cool it and add canned pears. My family thought it was disgusting.

Since we have pear trees, I have tried pears in a variety of recipes.
Mostly I used them like apples, but we just didn't like the end result. I
did mix some with apples and we made what Angela calls papplesauce. It was
okay. But applesauce is better. And before we knew of her wheat allergy, I
made bread with them. It was okay too, but you couldn't really taste the
pears.

pear sauce made like apple sauce is a gret binder in brownies instead of
eggs or fat, texture is very nice, Lee

Could be. I make brownies about once a year. I just made them. I would
not replace fat though since we don't do a low fat diet.
