Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating Having too many pears* and always ending up with 99% "chunks" than pretty slices after "processing" these pears by hand, I was getting desperate of what to do with all these pears. Came across this recipe, and good ol' Land-o-Lakes came through! I made this for one of the monthly church women's meetings and it was a hit! Ladies were going back for seconds! This is now going to be my go-to dessert for these meetings as long as I have pear chunks. *Receive my yearly bushel after bushel of pears from a neighbor's "wild-growing" pear trees, i.e., these trees are not tended, simply left to grow on their own. The pears are numerous but basically ugly and very grainy. The neighborhood looks to me to do what I can with these pears every year. Posted November 14, 2016 by Dori Rating I made this with freshly picked pears. I did make a couple changes: I used vanilla instead of almond extract and old fashioned instead of quick oats. It came out yummy! Posted September 09, 2015 by Julie Rating just delicious...! an absolute make again..
