Everything and I mean everything I have made from Ina's shows or books has always turned out good. This pear clafouti is a wonderful, light desert that went over at my dinner gathering well. However, I would like some feed back on non alcohol
substitute.
Thank you

I made this dessert for a dinner get together. I added some lemon zest to the sugar that I coated to the bottom of the baking dish. Everyone loved it including the 2 and 3 year old! It was great warm with Vanilla Bean ice cream. I would recommend it to anyone who likes pears. It was fantastic and all the guests wanted seconds.

Coming off the holidays with traditional cakes, pies and cookies this was a wonderfully different recipe. My family loved it. I did make a few changes with the fruit and brandy but otherwise followed the recipe as written. I used Bosc pears but I added in some bing cherries (looked the addition of color after it was baked and used lime juice instead of the lemon zest (forgot to buy lemons. Instead of the pear brandy, I used apricot brandy (had on hand and wasn't buying anything else. All the flavors went together perfectly. (I tried the dessert before I let my family and almost ate the whole thing myself!!! Will definitely make this again!

My dinner guests loved it. I'm not very good at desserts usually, but this one was very easy and empressive.
It was difficult to find the pear brandy and it was expensive. The peach brandy was 1/4th the price.

I made this to use up a box of pears we received for Christmas. Didn't bother to peal the pears, and used plain brandy. We ate it for Sunday brunch and it is so easy and so delicious. I look forward to trying other fruit, and serving it as a desert.

I have always liked Ina's food. They always look so delicious and I have never been disappointed by her recipes. The batter smells sooooo good when I was making it. I changed a few ingredients 'cause I didn't have what the recipe called for. I substituted the pear brandy with coconut flavored rum. I put a table spoon of lemon juice after I zested the skin. It tasted just as good.
I didn't quite get the dimension of the baking dish she has in the recipe. I used a regular 9-inch round pie baking dish. I agree with the previous viewer that cutting the pear was the most time consuming part of the dish. Other than that, it's all Very Good! You've gotta try it. Light and tasty!

How does a round cake pan have 3 dimensions? What's 10 by 3 by 1-1/2?

This is easy to make and comes out great. The hardest part is cutting/peeling the pears. Since pears are a subtle flavor, the real flavor will come from the pear brandy (warning: it's expensive! and the zest. I served the dish with whipped heavy cream and added a touch of pear brandy and sugar to the whipped cream - yum! this dessert is easy to make and delicious. I will make it again!

Made this with strawberries and blueberries instead of pears and it was simply amazing. Can't wait to try it out with more fruit!
