Ingredients:

2 cups (about 2 small) peeled, cored and diced pears
1 cup LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
2 sheets (17 1/4-ounce package) frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions, divided
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Cinnamon-sugar

Directions:

PREHEAT oven to 375° F.

COMBINE pears, pumpkin, sugar, nuts, cinnamon, cloves and ginger in medium bowl. Spoon one-half of filling in center third of 1 pastry sheet.

MAKE downward slanting strips in outer sections of pastry (3/4-inch apart) starting about 1 inch away from top of pastry and side of filling, cutting to outside edges. Starting at top, alternately fold left and right side pastry strips over filling forming a braid. Seal at top and bottom of strudel. Place on ungreased rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and pastry sheet. Brush strudels with egg; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.

BAKE for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Serve warm.

Pumpkin Pear Strudel

CAROL LA BELLA from Norwalk, CT

This was my first time using puff pastry and was a lot easier to use than I expected. Everyone loved this recipe and thought the pumpkin pear combination was very good. I will definitely make this again.

I have made this recipe before. However, I do not like pears or walnuts. I substituted apples and pecans. I liked it alot better that way. You should try this!

Virginia Braddy from Hobgood, NC

This dish was relatively easy to make and as I do not particularly care for pears I still thought it was pretty good. My family loved it. The next time I cook it I may try it with peaches as I really like peaches a lot. Using the puff pastry was a big plus as it would have been a lot harder to bake if I had to make the pastry.

Very tasty and quick strudel. I added some chopped sugar glazed pecans and everyone loved it. Next time I am going to try apples with glazed walnuts. YUM!
Pretty as the picture

Michelle Pokorny from MOSCOW, ID

We have tried this with pears and apples-both are great. Be careful not to underbake the pastry or it will be gummy!

Nice!! A great variation of the usual pumpkin pie. With the addition of pear, this is a pleasing, nice strudel for just about any occasion, not just for holidays.

patricia phillips from CENTRALIA, IL

I made this for my son, who adores strudel. I did not tell him it was pumpkin apple, for fear that he would not try it. I also added 1/4 cup pecans to the filling of mine. It was really tasty. My son said it was different. and that he would eat it again someday if I chose to make it. but he prefers just apple.

Anna Hartman from AUBURN, IN

I just made this and everyone loved it! I had fresh pears from our tree that I needed to use before they got too ripe. I was pleased to find a pear recipe on this site. I did have trouble finding the pastry puffs but finally found them at one store locally. They are definitely something I will make again and probably something that I will make with other fruits also. I will make them for Christmas gifts this year because they are very attractive when they are done....but they don't last long around our house!
A Christmas Breakfast Treat

Ellen Picket from KNIGHTDALE, NC

I have made this recipe several times for my family and friends for Christmas breakfast. It makes for a very delicious beginning to this special holiday. I usually serve it with a hot fruit compote and cheesy sausage and egg casserole. The puff pastry is not that hard to work with and turns out so flaky and brown if you do not overwork the dough and try to keep it cold. Sometimes I add raisins to the filling and have also substituted apples for the pears. This dessert makes the Christmas breakfast table so pretty and festive! Of course, it is delicious at the end of any other meal, too!

Pauline Johnsey from No. Stratford, NH

This was so good and not that hard to make. I made it for the ladies church monthly meeting,we each take turns bringing something for our meeting to go with coffee. There wasn't a bit left. Everyone asked for the recipe. I am going to try different fruits in it the next time.

Maureen Krueger from Harbor beach, MI

I prepared this for Easter 2006 and everyone loved it. I used apples because I had them on hand and it was delicious. I was amazed at the combination of flavors. I also took one to work because I had doubled the recipe and everyone raved. Next time I will try the pears and I know it to will be a hit again.

Sheila Goodwill from MARIETTA, OH

This was easy to make. And I used Pears that was grown in S.C. and it was very tasty after adding apple pie spices.
Pretty and Delicious

Cathy Mack from CUPERTINO, CA

This makes a beautiful dessert. The warm pumpkin and pears go together scrumptiously and contrast nicely with the sugary, crispy puff pastry. I make this for family because it's quick and for company because it's so attractive.
Excellent

A Real Pair

Mabel Downey from HOPKINSVILLE, KY

I admit to a question of pairing pumpkin with pears. It looked good in the picture, so I decided to try it. It is good and my husband thought I bought it from the store. Thanks.

Gwen Barbagiovanni from Burlington, IA

This Strudel is soooooooooo GOOD, and not that difficult to make. Enjoy! If you like nuts, you can throw in a few chopped pecans or walnuts for that additional taste and crunch.

Summer Surprise

Veronica Roccisano from Teaneck, NJ

I would never have thought of using pumpkin in the summer, but what a wonderful treat. I had to make second one just for my brother-in-law, that's how good it really is. Don't cheat your self; it is worth every calorie.

Very good combination and very easy to make. My family loves pumpkin any way they can get it. We put whipped cream on the top. Almost like Thanksgiving!
Pumpkin & Pear Strudel

KATHLEEN KOZAK from NEW HAMPTON, NH

Since I don't do well with puff pastry, I made the recipe with homemade pie crust. I didn't have fresh pears so used well drained canned ones. I can't imagine only using 2 pears to get 2 cups; it took more. It was absolutely delicious!!
What a great idea!

Christine Ryan from Florham Park, NJ

I have a friend that made this one and it was outstanding!
