Pear Custard Pie

This recipe is from the Everyday Food cookbook. I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much, mostly because I'm not a huge fan of pears. However, when I saw that my grocery store had pears on sale, I decided to give it a try. I made this for the first time on Friday night, and it was so good that I made another one yesterday. I even made a second trip to the store for more pears! The prep time for this recipe is very minimal, and I think the custard base would work well with other kinds of fruit - apples and berries come to mind. The only change I made to the recipe is that I used vanilla sugar instead of regular granulated sugar.
