My husband planted 4 pear trees and for several years they didn't produce, however this year, we had pears out the wazoo. I stumbled on this recipe while searching for something to do with all of them. Boy was I glad. It was fabulous. My family was so surprised that a pear pie could taste so good! It was the first time any of us had tasted pear pie. I didn't have the rosewater so just brushed the crust with melted butter and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top. Thanks Mysterygirl for translating this wonderful recipe.

Wow, this recipe is wonderful. Each of the ingredients complimented each other. Nothing was overpowering or oversweet as some recipes can get. I loved the hint of Rose. I didnt use White Wine but I substituted White Vermouth instead. EXCELLENT. Thankyou for sharing this recipe.

This was so delicious! I made it to bring to a friend's house tonight and it was a big hit. Everybody raved over the flavor. Even DH who never eats sugar had a small piece and loved it. This is a real keeper. Also, I added a bit more wine & spice to the syrup and served it hot in a mug like a cider. Also quite tasty. thanks!
