When a friend called and asked if I like pears, I told her yes. I went over and I picked sooooo many pears off of her tree. This one tree bore like there was no next year. (maybe that tree knows something I don't) She'd already done a laundry basket of them and the tree was still loaded.
Clockwise:
*Huge, heavy bag of pears
*I separated them out and gave them to friends. (not shown: the second batch of pears
I picked)
*Ordered a peeler from Amazon. It looked like a toy but it worked great.
I also ordered a corer from Amazon. Cores and slices.
A couple of weeks later I decided to use a dump cake method to make a pear cobbler. I watched about 5 different YouTube videos to view various perspectives. I consider a "cake" to have no juice. All of the recipes used a filling. I suppose it's called a dump cake because of the cake mix that's dumped on top of the filling to make a crust.
1. Gathering the items I'll need
2. Cooking and flavoring the frozen pears with just a small amount of water to get it started. As the pears thawed they released their juices. (I noticed that none of the cooks added any
spices to their filling. ) But, I did. 😃SHOUT OUT to SIS for telling me this.
3. Put a little butter and powdered cake mix at the bottom of the greased pan.
4. Placed the pear filling in each small loaf pan (about 2 cups), sprinkled the top of filling with cake mix. Placed pats of butter on top before baking

Cooked Pear Cobblers
I kept one for myself, tasted it and it was delicious. Now I could distribute the rest to friends.
Top of the list on the receiving end were E.P. & L.P who have the pear tree. Thank you.
That's it ***
Pour the 21 ounces of cherry filling into the bottom of the pan. ( I lined my pan with foil for easy cleanup. I also sprayed the pan with non-stick spray before dumping in the cherry filling). Sprinkle the crumbly mixture on top. Then pour the melted butter (margarine) on top of the crumbled mixture.
