I made a happy experiment today: Yorkshire pudding with fruit!

There were three bags of sliced frozen pears in the freezer, about 3 cups total, that I brought in and Momma thawed for me. Then I spread them in a 9x13 pan, and put them in the oven at 425 for about 20 minutes. They were pretty juicy, so I drained the liquid into a sauce pan and put the pears, along with 2 tablespoons each of butter and coconut oil, back into the oven at 500. Then I snipped 1/2 to 2/3 of a cup of dried apricots into the juices, and added a pinch of salt, a couple dashes of balsamic vinegar, generous 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract, and a scant teaspoon of bourbon vanilla extract. Boiled it down till there wasn't much liquid left, turned the heat off and let it cool. Momma mixed the pudding (I think it was 4 eggs, 2 cups of milk, and 2 cups of unbleached flour, plus salt), and I mixed the dried fruit sauce into the batter. Poured the batter over the pears, and baked (at 500) for 30 minutes. I'm excited about it--no sweetener, but a very pleasant dessert! I think it would be good for breakfast, too, with sausages and milk.
