Pear and Hokkaido Squash Pie Recipe

Recipe

Total time: 30 to 60 minutes

Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F)
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 + 5 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Chef's Note

This is an excellent way to use Hokkaido squash or pumpkin jam.

Ingredients

- 320 ml (1 1/3 cups) Hokkaido squash jam

- 50 ml (3 tbsp.) crème fraîche

- 3 Pears

- 150 g (5 oz.) flour

- 75 g (5 tbsp.) butter

- 2 eggs

- Butter

- Salt

Method

Line a buttered pie plate with pâte brisée (pie pastry); cover with the pear halves.
In a bowl, combine the eggs, squash jam and crème fraîche. Pour over the pears.
Bake the pie at 180° C (350° F) for 35-40 minutes or until cooked. Be careful: the recipe is similar to a quiche, so don't overcook it or it will dry out and toughen.
Check for doneness with the point of a knife.
A few minutes before the end of the cooking time, sprinkle with golden granulated sugar and caramelize. Serve hot or cold.
