Pears and more pears

While reorganizing my pantry, I found hiding in the back; a #10 can of pears. So not to forget about them, I relocated them to the refrigerator. So within the next 11 days (the length of the rest of my vacation); I must either bake something or freeze them. I found two recipes on All Recipes. They look fairly easy, even for someone who is so inept in the kitchen; namely me.

The first is for a sour cream pear pie.
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup sour cream
2 (15 ounce) cans pears, drained and chopped
1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, stir together 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon and salt. Mix in the egg and sour cream until smooth. Add pears, and stir gently until coated. Pour the mixture into a graham cracker crust.
Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven. While the pie is baking, make the topping in a medium bowl. Stir together the sugar and flour. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping over the pie.
Bake for an additional 30 minutes. Cool completely before serving.


This one for a pear crisp.

2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

DIRECTIONS
In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in margarine until coarse crumbs form; set aside. Place pears in a large bowl. Sprinkle with sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel, ginger and remaining cinnamon; toss to coat. Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with crumb mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until pears are tender.
