TWD - Double Pear Picnic Pie

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Double Pear Picnic Pie. It is so called because it contains both fresh pear slices (Beurre Bosc in my case) and dried pears.

I halved the recipe, used Greek yoghurt instead of sour cream in the pastry, and not possessing either apricot jam or marmalade (the nasties had gotten into the latter in the fridge), I used pear and ginger jam,  I used pear and ginger jam in the filling, which also made up for the fact that I hadn’t bothered using crystallised ginger (an optional ingredient) in the filling.

This pie was scrumptious - I loved the crunch of the pastry from the sugar sprinkled on top. I have more of the “sour cream” (yoghurt) pastry in the freezer, so I can easily make this again.
