Recipes from the Past - Part IV

Today we have "Pear Pie" as found in the Oak Harbor, Ohio Personal Recipes by CIRCLE No. 1, Woman's Society Christian Service, Oak Harbor Methodist Church. It was submitted by Mrs. Leon Lentz. I am assuming Mrs. Leon Leutz & Mrs. Leon Lentz are one and the same. Enjoy!

PEAR PIE

1 crust, unbaked

Fill crust with finely sliced ripe pears. Mix through pears:
1 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. flour
1/8 tsp. cloves
pinch salt

Dot with butter, lemon juice and 3 Tbsp. cream. Cover while baking. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes; turn to 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until pears are tender. Remove cover last few minutes.

Where It Fits: Mary Cary is the daughter of Leon Leutz & Merle Fritsche. Mary Cary married Merrill Rudes and they are the parents of Diane, Merrill, Terrence & De Ila.

Today In History: Today Harold Johannsen turns 89 and Peter Madison turns 136.
