RECIPE INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup toasted chopped hazelnuts

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup ice water

2 tablespoons firmly packed golden brown sugar

For Filling:

1/3 cup firmly packed golden brown sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

4 cups 1-inch chunks peeled, cored firm-ripe pears (about 4 large)

1/3 cup golden raisins

2 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger

RECIPE METHOD

Combine flour, 1/2 cup hazelnuts, sugar and salt in processor. Pulse until nuts are finely chopped. Add butter and blend until mixture resembles meal. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Remove 1 cup mixture and transfer to medium bowl. Pour ice water over mixture in large bowl. Using fork, stir until moist clumps form. Gather clumps into ball; flatten into disk. Stir brown sugar and 1/3 cup hazelnuts into reserved 1 cup mixture. Cover dough and crumbs separately and chill 30 minutes or overnight.

FOR FILLING: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and position rack in bottom. Stir brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and cloves in large bowl. Add pears, raisins and ginger, toss gently to combine. Place 2 large sheets of parchments crosswise on work surface. Using lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough out to 13-inch round. Transfer parchment with dough to large baking sheet. Spoon filling onto crust, leaving 1 1/2-inch border. Fold dough edges up on sides to enclose pears. Sprinkle topping over pears. Bake until crust is golden brown and pears bubble thickly, about 1 hour. Cool. Slide croustade carefully to platter.

submission: Tribute to Cdn. Soldiers

date: March 2, 2007

Over all I felt the graphics weren't up to par, the song was pretty good seeing how it went along with the flash... Style 10 because I didn't even know canada had an army... and tributes to soldiers are a rare find.

Does Canada really have an army???? what do they use buckets of water and sticks? Tickle the enemy to death?
