fantastic !
Ive done something similar in the past , but I used canned pears , the kind w no aded or little added sugar to the syrup.
they usually come in 1/2 pear cuts so I slice them into maybe 1/3'd and line the bottom of the pan then
add the generous helping of the PecanGoodNess.
uf course , you have to like Pears !
if you try it , let me know. i might get inspired to make them again.
also works well w unside-down batter if you not in a Bun-nie mood !
