In our co-op baskets we had plums which the husband doesn’t like and quite frankly, I was sick of (I even made a plum milkshake, it was not successful). I bought some pears and we were good to go. When I first started this project I was determined to make the recipes exactly.as.written. but this recipe I changed my mind and I went with what I thought would work best. Mostly because my plums were a little overripe and mushy and I knew that it would just be a runny sludgy mess so I added some cornstarch to the mixture.
The Verdict: Sure enough, the filling firmed up to a tasty pear/plum mush, almost like a chunky jam. The topping was crisp, buttery and salty; the way it should be. I think it would have been better had my plums not been overripe but at the same time I think that the flavor of the pears was lost.
Tips for Next Time: I think a crisp is not a good crowd pleaser, it’s a little hit and miss on who likes crisps. But if I was in the fruit crisp mood, I’d try this one again with a different mix of fruits.
