I purchased a large quantity of pears from a fundraiser and needed a few recipes to use them up. This combination looked interesting and conveniently I had all of the ingredients on hand, even the ice cream for on top 
. We love "crisps" so this recipe was the first on my list to try. I made a few changes and will list them as well. We really liked it, so I thought I'd share. The recipe was found here on the search and is from Country Woman Christmas.
Based on the amounts of fruit used, I guess it should actuallly be called...
