We have a huge pear tree in our yard, which is why I came up with this recipe. The tart lime, sweet pears and tangy ginger are a winning combination. —Heather Naas, Lompoc, California

Easy, delicious. I did not have crystallized ginger on hand, so used a little cinnamon. My husband came close to eating a 9x9 himself. Next time I will make a little larger recipe with the pears. Will definitely make again. Made it with apples but my family did not like it as well. Thank you for this recipe.

I had ginger spiced pears left over from when I canned yesteday and used them in this recipe this morning. I did not have lime so subbed lemon, I also reduced the sugar as my pear mixture was already cooked in light syrup...it came out excellent! I served it warm with sour cream. I will keep this recipe, it is a perfect cobbler for my canned pears.

Great recipe...and very easy.
