Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (about 1 ounce)
  • 1 29-ounce can pears, sliced, or sliced peaches in fruit juice
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (regular or nonalcoholic) and 1/2 cup juice from the pears or peaches, or 3/4 cup juice from the pears or peaches
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves or ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup uncooked rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole-wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons canola or corn oil

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • In a small ovenproof skillet, dry-roast the pecans in a single layer in the preheating oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring several times.
  • Remove from the skillet so they dont burn.
  • Put the pears in a 1-quart casserole dish or 9-inch glass pie pan.
  • In a medium saucepan, stir together the wine and juice, sugar, ginger, and cloves.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook for 4 minutes, or until reduced by half, stirring occasionally.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, flour, and nutmeg.
  • Using a fork, stir in the oil, then the pecans.
  • Sprinkle over the pears.
  • Pour the sauce over all.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the sauce is bubbly.
  • Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
  • Replace the pears with canned apple slices, and replace the ginger with 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  • Use 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, not ground cloves.
