7 to 8 ripe but firm pears, preferably Bosc
1 lemon
1/4 cup brandy, cognac or 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1/4 cup dried cranberries, currants or raisins
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 phyllo pastry sheets
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup creamy mild chevre cheese
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, optional
Place oven rack on lowest level in oven. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly
butter a large baking sheet with shallow sides.
Peel pears, then core and coarsely chop. You should have about 8 cups. Place
in a large mixing bowl.
Finely grate 1 teaspoon peel from lemon and squeeze out 2 tablespoons juice.
Add to pears and stir in brandy and cranberries. Set aside. Stir sugar with
cornstarch, ginger and salt.
Remove 2 sheets of phyllo from package and cover remainder with plastic wrap
and a dampened tea towel to prevent drying out. Lay one sheet flat and lightly
brush with melted butter. Top with second sheet, matching edges. Lightly brush
with melted butter. Fold to form a rectangle about 8 x 13 inches. Lightly brush
both sides with butter. Stir sugar mixture with pears and place about 3/4 cup
of pear mixture in the center of rectangle.
Crumble 1 tablespoon ch�vre over top. Gather the edges, bringing up over
the pears and twisting slightly to form a rough edged peak. Place on buttered
baking sheet. Repeat, placing bundles at least 1 inch apart.
Bake on bottom rack of preheated 375 degree F oven until pears are tender,
about 30 minutes. Pastry peaks will brown before rest of pastry.
As phyllo becomes soggy quickly, serve bundles immediately, sifting confectioners'
sugar over top, if you wish.
