The Hit at Thanksgiving Dinner

My husband loves ham. When he knew we were having the traditional turkey for Thanksgiving, he pleaded, "How about a ham? Maybe a little ham?" So we had both and today I'm using up the last of the ham bits in an Alfredo pasta dish for supper. But the dish that really was the hit of the holiday meal was a new dessert. Since we get a boxed Fruit of the Month gift from my aunt and uncle every month, the beautiful November pears begged to become something wonderful . French Pear Pie will be on the menu next year too!
