No matter how packed full of turkey, potatoes and stuffing our bellies become, everyone I know has an uncanny ability to make wiggle room for dessert at the end of Thanksgiving dinner. I mean, how could you not? I'm sure everyone you know has this same natural ability. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without having at least a small sliver of the Aunt Betty's famous pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin pie, however, was never a mandatory staple during our family's Thanksgiving dinner ritual. In fact, I never remember a single pumpkin dessert of any kind growing up. What I do remember is fruit. Lots of fresh fruit.
When I saw this beautiful pear dessert, I knew I had found the ending I'd been seeking for the big day. It's light, elegant, and doesn't involve the words cream, butter, or sugar.
My belly will be happy with me.
