The flavor was very good, but I had too much juice and it was thin. I had to take out the liquid and use corn starch to thicken it. I did the recipe as written and used frozen berries. The only thing I did different, was I prepped the berry/pear mix a head of time about an hour and I think the sugar made the fruit release too much juice before cooking.

This was one of those recipes I definitely could not cut back on so made the whole 9 yards ~ ABSOLUTELY LOVE THOSE LITTLE TART BUGGERS! I love the combo of apple & cranberry, too, but really wanted to see how the flavor of the pears would come through here & I wasn't disappointed ~ Made as written, THIS IS A REALLY WONDERFUL TASTING DESSERT! A definite keeper of a recipe, too! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]

Lovely and easy Fall dessert. I used it today for our Thanksgiving dessert and it received rave reviews around. So much simpler than a standard pie but still perfectly traditional and right for the season. When the berries and pears that were ask for were in the bowl I knew that the cranberry percentage was to high for our preference. I added another pear (total of 3 instead of 2) and a large Golden Delicious apple. It came out wonderful.

This came out alright. I used a sugar substitute for the granulated sugar in an attempt to make it healthier, but it didn't seem to go very well with the dried cranberries that I used. Also used light butter which was fine, and pecans. My boys, who aren't crazy about crisps, ate it w/o complain. I will try this again with regular sugar. Thank you for posting! Made for Bevy Tag
