Pears and Apples.....


I've often wondered....
If I could choose ANY God-Given talent, what would I choose....??



 I am pretty sure I would choose to be able to PAINT.

I've seen such beautiful paintings...
and I've seen such beautiful FRUITS that just screamed,

 "Paint me !!"

Yes, ma'am.....
I would dearly love to be able to paint ANYthing
but, for some reason, I find  fruit to be something I'd REALLY love to paint.


OK....I can't PAINT FRUIT....

but I CAN make an
APPLE PEAR CRISP
using THIS RECIPE off the net.

I had to cut the recipe waaay down as I didn't have nearly enuf fruit for the recipe.

I had only
1 apple
2 1/2 apple/pears

I cut the recipe in half....other than the fruit (had less than 1/2)
and it made a really nice sized Crisp.
.....enuf for Mr. Sweet and I and COMPANY, too. :)





I cut up all the fruit into small chunks...


I always use FRUIT FRESH on my fresh fruits...

keeps the fruit from changing colors and helps keep it looking ....
well........fresh..!

DUH ... !! 

After adding all the ingredients for the TOPPING,
I added a good handful of PECANS,
altho the recipe doesn't call for  them, I add them every chance I get.


Into a 350 oven for 30 minutes...

after checking the doneness of the fruit,
 
I baked it all about 25 minutes longer.








 ...got all the bowls and pans washed up ......


while the Crisp baked to a
GOLDEN GOODNESS.....

OOO, it looks sooo good.


Mr. Sweet brought home 2 delicious burgers from town...

(this one is mine and I take off tomatoes and most of the lettuce..
I like my pickles and onions ON THE SIDE...)
sooo, my burger looks really flat.
and I was sooo glad I'd made DESSERT.

 XOXO, bj


...it surely was YUMMY.

  2. That looks so good! I could go for a scoop of fruit crisp! I guess you will have to channel that still life artistic side with your beautiful photographic skills...

  11. I wish I could paint too, but sadly cannot. So I take photos instead, LOL, and some of them I change into painterly looks with digital magic! I really like the first painting, where one pair looks like it is pushing the other one off the edge.

  15. My mother used to paint when I was little. She actually made a little extra income by selling her paintings. I on the other hand, can hardly draw a recognizable stick figure! Lol! I obviously didn't get her painting abilities. :) Your dessert looks delicious and I agree...pecans make everything better. :)
