I LOVE this recipe! I've tried it with and without nuts, I've tried it with apples instead of pears too and it always works out. Sometimes I don't have enough fruit - or I use lots more fruit - it never fails. I've served it to lots of people and have never come across anybody who doesn't like it. It's quick and easy - one of my favorite recipes.

We had this for dinner last night... it is truly lovely!!! I used brazil nuts instead of pecans because that is what I had, and they were fine... Next time I make it I will use a bit less sugar (probably just 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup would be enough).
