A Gardener's Delight

During my trip to Oregon, I helped cook for our group of 14, most of them published authors of cookbooks or gardening books. I wanted to make something great and unique. As usual, I used my "leftover makeover" ideas for this recipe. The leftovers this time were a natural treasure! One of the gardeners let me use whatever was abundant in their garden. The ground was strewn with 100's of apples and pears, so that was first. (See next post for recipes).
