Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    We like to use Bartlett pears for this pear pizza recipe. Other good varieties are red D’Anjou and Bosc. To check the ripeness of a pear, press your finger gently into the top of the pear. It should give slightly when pressed.
  • tip 2
    Pomegranate arils are sold in a container and have already been removed from the pomegranate skin, so they're convenient and easy to use. You can also buy the whole fruit, and remove the arils on your own.
  • tip 3
    Pour a drizzle of honey on the spiced pear and pomegranate pizza before serving to complement the sweetness of the pears!
  • tip 4
    Bake the crescent crust, cool and spread with the cream cheese mixture. Cover loosely, and refrigerate your pear and pomegranate pizza up to 2 hours before topping with pears and serving.
