How to Make Pear Mincemeat Dessert

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the peeled and diced pears (2 large pears, about 2 cups), mincemeat (1 cup), brown sugar (1/4 cup), flour (2 tablespoons), cinnamon (1 teaspoon), nutmeg (1/4 teaspoon), and allspice (1/4 teaspoon).
  3. Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish (or individual ramekins).
  4. Dot the top with butter (2 tablespoons), cut into small pieces.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the topping is lightly browned.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
