Don't expect this old-fashioned dessert to last long. The delicate pears and irresistible caramel topping make it a winner whenever I serve it. It's nice to have a tempting fall cake that puts the season's best pears to excellent use.

This was an easy and delicious dessert.  I used evaporated milk instead of whole milk and it worked great.  It is best warm, so we put it in the refrigerator and the next day warmed it up in the microwave for 1 minute and it was great.  Serve with whipped topping.

I have to admit, I wasn&#039;t crazy about this-but my husband liked it. I&#039;m not even sure I know why I didn&#039;t care for it. It was easy to put together though, which is always a nice thing.

I prepared this recipe and I did make slight changes -I used 5 small apples, peeled and cubed, 1/8 tsp. cloves, 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg and 1 tsp. rum extract!  I also added 1/2 cup raisins with 1/8 cup all-purpose flour and baked the pudding in an 8x8x2&quot; greased and floured baking pan at 375o F. for 45 minutes.  It came out PERFECTLY!  I learned that I NEEDED to KEEP the amount of milk as it is and the exact amount of water mixed with the brown sugar &amp; butter!  The first time I&#39;d made this recipe, I&#39;d &quot;flunked&quot; it, so I decided to try again and just keep the basic measurements just as  it was!  A tip I learned from my Mom: when this dessert is cooled, it can carefully be eased or cut and inverted to make a lovely presentation with the caramel sauce on top!  It&#39;s like a square sticky bun in cake form! Thank you, Sharon Mensing,for this recipe!  I&#39;m sure that I&#39;ll use it  time and again NOW that I&#39;m aware of NOT adding excess liquid! I admit that there are times I HAVE experimented with recipes, but to a FAULT and  it doesn&#39;t ALWAYS work well!  delowenstein

This was easy and is so good.  I had pears and had no idea what to do with them, so I looked online for a recipe.  I&#39;m so glad I came across this one.

This was a fantastic recipe.  It will definately be going into my &quot;favorites&quot; recipe box.  I didn&#39;t use the pecans because I don&#39;t care for them but this dessert tasted as though nothing was missing.

This was so easy and turned out great!  I completely forgot the pecans and it was still delicious!!  It does bubble up somewhat in the dish while baking, so be sure to use a deeper-sided 2 quart dish to prevent bubbling over.  Thanks for this easy & delicious recipe!

I love to make this delicious and easy recipe when someone gives us pears from their trees.
