Notes: Can make in a flan or spring form pan. It is important that the pears are ripe and flavorful. Can use all pears or apples or other fruit like peaches. Depending on the dish you are using and the size of the fruit you may need only 4 pieces of fruit. If using a shallow pan you may not need all of the custard. If the custard boils over it is hard to get the flan out of the pan in nice pieces which is why I prefer a spring form pan.
