Ingredients

Shortcrust pastry
Jar of mincemeat (left over from Christmas! but optional)
3 ripe pears
120g butter softened
150g caster sugar
2 eggs
20g plain flour
200g ground almonds plus almond essence

Handy Hint

This is a purely "made up as you go along recipe" Pears - I had in the fruit bowl, mincemeat was half a jar left over from Xmas and I also grated some leftover bought marzipan onto the mincemeat as husband likes almond flavour.

Method

1. Line 22cm (9") dish with pastry.

2. Peel,core and cut pears into quarters, lay on pastry.
Cover the above with mincemeat (but this is optional)

3. Cream butter and sugar together till soft, beat in eggs one at a time.

4. Add flour and ground almonds then smooth mixture over the mincemeat.

5. Bake at about 180C until frangipan topping is cooked (approx 30-40mins).
