Asian Pear Crisp

For dessert at Create a Farmer's Market Feast, we made a delicious Asian pear crisp with pears from K & J Orchards with a scoop of Almond Sorbet from Scream Sorbet. K& J sources all the citrus for Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc and French Laundry along with 58 other notable Bay Area Restaurants. Crisps and crumbles are wonderful seasonal desserts.
