No-Cook 3-Ingredient Stuffed Pears Recipe

"Like myself, my Mom favored tasty recipes that were easy-fixes & mostly made ahead. She made sure this one found its way to our Irish feasts often. I don't see how it can get any easier than a no-cook, 3-ingredient recipe that you can make a day in advance of intent to serve. This past Thanksgiving I made these stuffed pears as a surprise add to our 3-family menu & they were a hit across 3 generations. Enjoy!"
