Though autumn doesn't officially arrive until September 22, it's been autumn for days in the littered landscape that is my mind. And that means I suddenly start hankering after PEARS! and PUMPKIN! and MAPLE! and APPLES! and SWEET POTATOES!
After the looong hot summer of eating simple, fresh fare with as little time spent over a steaming stove as possible, I start baking things again: for example, this past week I've made 1) this cheesecake 2) 2 pumpkin pies & 3) pumpkin latte coffee cake. It's like a disorder. Not that my family would complain. 
(Just look at the beautiful transparency of those glazed pears!) In my humble opinion (which I share so rarely, so listen up), they were a little on the overly sweet side, being brushed with pure maple syrup & broiled to bring out the natural sugars in the pears. But oh, did they satisfy the eyes!
