A Spontaneous Pear Jalapeño Pie

A very fun dinner and game party for 7 at my friends' place back in the old neighborhood prompted me to do a fun eccentric pie last night to bring to the pot-luck. Never had this one before, but having lived in Mexico I am excited to try out the spicy-tart-sweet flavor combo potential of pears and jalapeño! We had some pears and lemons from our backyard which made this particularly special. Just using Jalapeño Jelly melted with butter, poured over fresh fruit and some lemon juice, sugar, and nutmeg, cinnamon, and turned into a double crust pie. Made just like a traditional apple pie - just substitute pears and a 1/2 cup of the Jalapeño Jelly. It was gone in 5 minutes. We didn't need the vanilla ice cream but of course that would have put it 'over the top'. This pie could be a good one for next Thanksgiving, with flavor that pleases the apple pie lovers but is a new twist that people will want to test!
