Drunken raspberry and portly pear pie
This weekend, my Farmer's Market was just teeming with an abundance of pears and figs, so I was thinking that together, they would make a lovely pie. I also bought the sweetest tasting raspberries that were calling out to me and bursting with color. After I assembled the fig and pear pie, I had just popped it into the oven and after a few minutes of baking, our entire neighborhood was hit with a power outage and boom - no more oven. one hour turned into six and before I knew it, the pie was no longer bake-able! The dough had collapsed into the filling and couldn't be lifted off. Onto plan B! Since I had so many pears and still had the beautiful raspberries, I decided to change course. I remembered how lovely poached pears in port with raspberry sauce tasted, so that's where I drew my inspiration from for this pie. Happy accident, indeed! Note: I know that everyone has a favorite way to make pie crust and this is mine, feel free to use your own recipe or store bought if desired. - TiggyBee
