    Honest typos can be amusing. Here's a Beatnik Breakfast recipe...

    In my day (I am of the Beat Generation) beatniks were more into wacky weed than booze. I could not participate in any of the ceremonial weed burnigs because I am allergic to cannabinoids. But that got me through the 60s more-or-less intact. Bv)=

    I've been reading about flappers, beatniks, and other counterculture
    people. Most of them were youth culture and a common theme seems to
    be liberation. From my perspective that liberation was relative and incremental.

    A couple of weeks ago i found a bunch of "wild" pear trees. I think
    their ancestor was a Bartlett. The offspring seem able to compete &
    spread. The pears were scarcely larger than crab apples. I grabbed
    a grocery bag full of them, and the trees are loaded with fruit so i
    could grab many more. I wasn't sure how they'd turn out. Last week
    i processed the riper half of the pears. I quartered and cored them
    and filled a crockpot. I didn't bother to peel them because they're
    so small, but halfway through i used a potato ricer to mash them up.
    I sprinkled in a little nutmeg. As it cooked, the whole house smelt
    magical. It yielded a quart and a half, which i have been using for
    pancake topping and to doctor up porridge.

    Once i heard someone say wacky weed is the only honest drug, because
    it's the only drug that doesn't steal anything from you after using.
    Of course YMMV. Here's a 420 friendly pear butter recipe. ;)

    Title: Pear Butter
    Categories: Crockpot, Sauce
    Yield: 14 Servings

    5 lb Bartlett pears
    3/4 c Brown sugar (optional)
    1 tb Ground cinnamon
    1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
    1 lg Orange peel strip
    - (optional)

    Preparation time: 20 minutes
    Cooking time: 420 minutes

    This slow cooker (or crockpot) recipe for homemade pear butter is
    made with ripe Bartlett pears with their skin left on, cinnamon,
    nutmeg, and brown sugar! The slow-cooked pear butter is thick,
    spreadable, and bursting with fruit flavor. Enjoy the condiment as a
    spread on toast or as a topping for pancakes!

    Wash, core, and slice the pears. Do not peel the pears but do remove
    any weird brown spots or blemishes.

    Place the prepared pears into the slow cooker. Add the brown sugar,
    ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat. Add the orange peel onto
    the top of the pears.

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 6 hours. You'll know it is
    done when everything mushes up well when you test it with a fork or
    masher.

    Remove the orange peel and puree the pears with an immersion blender
    or transfer the pears to a blender and puree well. The immersion
    blender will make it more chunky. While you are working on blending
    the pear butter, make sure the slow cooker remains on high
    temperature and keep the lid on it to maintain the heat.

    Give your blended pear butter a little taste and add more sugar if
    you'd like it to be more sweet. Return the pureed pear butter to the
    slow cooker and continue to cook for one hour on high with the lid
    off.

    Place the pear butter into clean jars and seal with lids. Refrigerate
    till cooled.

    Serve on bread, toast, crackers, muffins, pancakes, or as a fruit
    dip. This will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 1
    week. It freezes well. Just leave a little "head space" for expanding
    when it freezes.

    Title: Raisin-Pear Strudel
    Categories: Pastry, Fruits, Desserts, Citrus, Dairy
    Yield: 8 Servings

    1 1/2 lb (3 md) pears; peeled, diced
    1/2 c Golden raisins (sultanas) *
    1/2 c Pecans; chopped (opt)
    3 tb Sugar
    1 1/2 ts Lemon juice
    3/4 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/8 ts Ground cloves
    1/8 ts Salt
    1/3 lb Phyllo dough; thawed
    6 tb Butter; melted
    1/4 c Crushed Italian macaroons
    - (amaretti)
    Confectioner's sugar
    1/2 c Heavy cream; whipped

    About 2 hours before serving: Peel and dice pears. In a
    large bowl, toss pears with raisins, nuts (option) sugar,
    lemon juice, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.

    Brush each phyllo sheet with melted butter (keep remaining
    sheets under damp towel until ready to use). On waxed
    paper arrange 1 sheet of phyllo in an 18" x 14" rectangle
    (trim or overlap to make it this size). Lay another phyllo
    sheet on top, continuing to brush each sheet with melted
    butter and on every other sheet sprinkling the crushed
    amaretti.

    Preheat oven to 375ºF/190ºC.

    Cut layered phyllo lengthwise in half, then cut each half
    crosswise into 4 pieces to make 8 rectangles in all (use
    ruler if desired to cut them even). Starting along a short
    side of one rectangle, spoon 1/8 of the pear mixture side,
    roll phyllo, jelly-roll fashion. Place roll, seam side
    down, on large, ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat until all
    rectangles and the pear mixture are used.

    Brush rolls with remaining melted butter. Bake rolls 25 to
    30 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm or cool on a
    wire rack to serve later.

    To serve, sprinkle with some confectioners' sugar and top
    with whipped cream.

    Serving Size: 8

    * UDD Note: Soaking the raisins in a reasonable brandy
    overnight adds a nice extra layer of flavour. This
    highly optional step will depend on your tastes, the
    availability of the brandy, and whether you think of
    it in time.

    remaining mixture over all. Cook on high for 3 hours (or you can cook
    it on low all day) or until chicken is tender.

    You can also chop the chicken up into bite size pieces before placing
    in the crock pot. I like doing this because it's easier when to cut
    raw chicken than cooked chicken.

    Title: Spiced Pickled Pears
    Categories: Fruits, Herbs, Spices, Preserving
    Yield: 1 quart

    2 lb (1 kg) Conference pears
    12 oz (350 g) soft light brown
    - sugar
    10 oz (275 ml) white wine vinegar
    10 oz (275 ml) cider vinegar
    1 (3"/7.5 cm) cinnamon stick;
    - broken in 3 pieces
    1/2 Lemon; in thin slices
    1/2 ts (level) whole cloves
    1 ts (level) juniper berries
    2 ts (level) mixed pepper berries

    EQUIPMENT: You will also need a 1 litre jar with a glass
    or plastic lid (vinegar corrodes metal).

    Start off by putting all the ingredients except the
    pears in a large saucepan and place it on a low heat,
    allowing it to come slowly to the boil.

    Give everything a whisk round from time to time to
    dissolve the sugar crystals. While that's happening,
    peel the pears. They need to be pared very thinly
    (forgive the pun). This means using either a very sharp
    knife or, best of all, a really good potato peeler. Take
    off all the peel but leave the stalks and the base
    florets intact. As you peel each pear, plunge it into a
    bowl of cold water.

    Then, after peeling them, check that the sugar has
    completely dissolved into the vinegar, drain the pears
    and add them to the saucepan. Bring everything up to a
    gentle simmer and let the pears cook for about 20
    minutes or until they look slightly transparent and feel
    tender when tested with a small skewer.

    In the meantime, the jar should be washed thoroughly in
    warm, soapy water, rinsed, dried and heated in a
    moderate oven for 5 minutes. Then, using a draining
    spoon, transfer the pears and slices of lemon to the
    clean jar. Now boil the syrup furiously for about 5
    minutes until it's reduced to about 15 fl oz (425 ml)
    and pour in enough to fill the jar right up to its neck
    and completely cover the pears. Then scoop out the
    spices and add them to the jar as well. Any leftover
    syrup can be discarded. Cover and seal the jar and, when
    the contents are completely cold, wipe and label it and
    store it in a cool dark place for about 1 month before
    using.

    The pears will keep well for 6 months.

    along with the spices should be dusted over the

    About a cup of sugar dissolved in a big pat (1/2 c)
    of butter. All rolled into a cake and cut into pieces
    or made into balls about the size of a walnut.

    It should be eaten with care. Two pieces are quite
    sufficient. Obtaining the cannibis may present certain
    difficulties. It should be picked and dried as soon
    as it has gone to seed and while the plant is still
    green.

    Doesn't that form a crust of some sort - as in

    6 hours. Quiche is done when center is set and edges are deep golden
    brown.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Implies a crust/pastry.

    I had the same thought, but i posted the recipe as written.

    These are spiced a lot like what my grandmother used to put up every year and bring out for Turkey day and Santy Pants time - as well as "special" occasions. She used halved or quartered (long axis) rather than sliced fruit, though.
    Title: Spiced Pickled Pears

    Once an old man on the Oregon coast showed me a "Winter Gravenstein" that produced hard fruits that would keep all winter long. He said that kind
    of variety was traditionally used to make pickles in Germany. I think
    there are also pears that are well suited to pickling. Very cool that
    you got to experience the real deal.

    The best of the California heirlooms in Sonnabend's opinion is the
    Sierra Beauty, a firm boxy apple with reddish stripes and a complex herbaceous and floral flavor, that originated near Chico in the late
    1800s and stores incredibly well. Locally it is also known as a
    Winter Gravenstein and was thought to have been extinct until the
    1980s, when it was found growing in Mendocino County in an orchard
    owned by the Gowan family, farmers who still sell their apples at the
    Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market in San Francisco.

    Pickled Pears

    Recipe By : Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book--Fine Old Recipes, 1936
    Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Pickles Desserts

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    14 lb Pear
    1 qt Cider vinegar
    6 lb Sugar
    1 ts Whole cloves
    1 ts Cinnamon stick

    Any good preserving pear may be used. Slice and remove
    core or pickle whole; the latter method is preferred
    when Sickel pears are used. Peel pears. Put spices in
    a small cheese cloth bag and add to the vinegar and
    sugar and bring to a boil. Add pears and cook until
    tender. The pears will look clear when tender. Remove
    them with a spoon and place them in sterilized jars.
    Boil the syrup until it becomes thick, the pour it
    over pears and seal.

    While that's happening, peel the pears. They need to be pared
    very thinly (forgive the pun).

    I was not prepared for that one. ;)
