PEAR CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center.
• Crisp topping:Stir together oats, sugar, almonds, flour, and salt. Add butter and mix with hands until small clumps form and dry mixture is coated in butter. Cover with plastic and refrigerate.
• Filling:Peel, halve, and core pears, then slice into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Add to a large bowl and toss with lime juice as you work to prevent pears from browning. Toss with sugar, ginger, flour, and salt. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Remove crisp topping from refrigerator and break into small pieces. Scatter evenly over the top. Transfer to oven and bake until bubbly, 50 to 60 minutes (tent top with foil if browning too quickly). Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack 20 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream. Crisp is best eaten the day it's made, but can be stored, covered, for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

PEAR CRISPS WITH VANILLA BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Make topping:
• Pulse together flour, almonds, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor until nuts are finely chopped. Add butter and pulse just until blended. Coarsely crumble in a shallow baking pan and chill at least 1 hour.
• Make filling and bake crisps:
• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
• Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a small heavy saucepan, then add pod and butter and cook over medium-low heat, swirling pan occasionally, until butter is browned and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
• While butter browns, stir together sugars, flour, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add pears and brandy and toss to combine.
• Discard vanilla pod, then toss butter with pear mixture. Spoon filling into gratin dishes and sprinkle with topping, mounding it slightly in centers. Put in a shallow baking pan and bake 30 minutes, then rotate baking sheet and bake until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes more. Cool to warm or room temperature on a rack.

OLD-FASHIONED HAND-CHURNED VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk to combine the sugar, salt, yolks and vanilla seeds until completely smooth. In a large saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine the cream and milk and cook until small bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan and the mixture is hot. Slowly drizzle the eggs into the hot cream mixture, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and the mixture coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain into a large bowl. Place the bowl in an ice bath and cool the custard, stirring occasionally. Store the custard into the refrigerator until ready to churn.
• Place the custard in an ice cream maker and process until smooth and thick, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer the ice cream to a quart container or 1 1/4-quart dish and freeze for 2 hours.
• Serve the ice cream topped with some Wet Walnuts.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, corn syrup, light brown sugar, vanilla and salt, and bring to a boil. Pour over the walnut halves and cool. Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
