This was a really great tasting pie. It looked pretty too. I used orange juice instead of the cointreau liqueir. My pears were just perfect. It turned out fabulous. Thanks for posting this recipe.

I doubled this but otherwise made exactly as directed and was happy with the end result. I did run into a little trouble with the recipe though... The mixture to pour over the fruit was so thick my mixer wouldn't stir it - not sure if it's supposed to be that way? I definitely couldn't "pour" it, so I just kind of globbed it over the pears and baked anyways and seemed ok. I noticed a bitter aftertaste, which I think is because of the flour. Next time I'll use less I think.

This recipe was very good. One thing I did change because of past experience with pear pie was, I pre-cooked the pears in microwave alittle bit. Thanks for sharing!

Great recipe. I did make one error, but it was entirely my fault so I certainly won't hold it against the recipe. I didn't slice my pears thinly enough. They weren't quite soft at the end of the cook time, but the flavor is great. I will make this again and next time I will slice the pears thinner.
