Cranberry Pear Crisp
I've made Cranberry Pear Crisps before, because I think they're such a great combination. Unfortunately, the cranberries didn't cook as fast as the pears and I was disappointed. I had some leftover "Pecan Crumble" topping from a delicious Sweet Potato Casserole (http://keyingredient.com/recipes/155159/pioneer-womans-sweet-potato-casserole/).
I experimented with cooking the cranberries a bit, then adding them to the pears. What we got was a delicious dessert that I quickly had to write down, so that I could make it again!
