Pear Strudel

It's easy to be lured by the arrival of nectarines, peaches, plums, apricots and cherries but that doesn't mean we should neglect the everyday fruit, like pears.

With just four ingredients, I've made an amazingly tasty Pear Strudel.




The methodology is identical to this Apple Blueberry Strudel - the pears have been peeled and cored and then sliced very finely. The other ingredients are butter and sugar and that great home-made filo.



Inside the strudel you have a luscious combination of soft sweet fruit - with the pastry acting as a sponge to soak in those pears juices, the outside is crisp and flaky. Served warm with softly whipped cream you might find it difficult to stop yourself from eating the whole thing!
