Good in the "NonGluten Pie Crust" (see recipe)

An easy way to make tapioca flour is by grinding old fashion pearl tapioca in a coffee

grinder (see the "Glossary of Ingredients" for more information on making or buying tapioca

flour)

FILLING

(or Tablespoons Agave Nectar)

tablespoons Sucanat sugar

(or granulated sugar)

tablespoons tapioca flour

/ teaspoon ground cardamom (or allspice)

/ cup dried figs

pounds pears

(

about large pears)

tablespoons lemon juice

teaspoon lemon zest chopped

GARNISH

(

the above juice and zest from one lemon)

pinch sea salt

teaspoon lemon zest

(from about one lemon)

/ cup brown rice syrup

CRUST

Prepare a pie crust but do not bake crust (eg either the "NonGluten Pie Crust" or the "Simple Pie Crust") A

largedeeppie dish is best for this pie The amount of filling called for in this recipe would overflow a small inch

pie pan; one that is deeper and wider is better; additionally a greater amount of pie crust dough will be needed

for this pie

FILLING

Place dried figs in a bowl and cover with hot water so they soften Set aside

Thinly slice pears and gently toss with lemon juice zest and salt in a large bowl Add brown rice syrup and

softened figs and gently toss again Sprinkle in half of the Sucanat sugar half of the tapioca flour and half of the

cardamom and toss again Add the other half of the sugar tapioca and cardamom and toss one final time

Bake the largedeeppreparedpie crust without the pear filling in a degrees F ( degrees C) oven (no need to

preheat oven) for minutes just to get the pie crust slightly baked (dried out)

After crust has baked a little bit pour the pear mixture into the crust and arrange pear slices in a circular pattern

on top of the pie Put back in the oven to bake in the degrees F ( degrees C) oven for hour or until the

pears are soft

GARNISH

Garnish baked pie with lemon zest
