The Pear Crumble

Any one who goes to school with me here at the Inquiry Hub knows very well the Fruit and Vegi program. Basically, for those who don’t know, the Fruit and Vegi program drops off a big box of either fruits or vegetables at the school every once and a while, which us students, and teachers, then consume over the course of the day. It’s a neat little way to get youth to eat healthier, and almost always goes without any problem. But, the key word was almost, as sometimes problems occur. Such as a few days ago when they gave us more pears than we have students. Almost everyone ate pears, but there were still absurd amounts remaining. And so Mr. Sarte and I came up with a plan. In order for the pears to be used up and not go to waste, I would spend the day (with help from others at some points), making most of the remaining pears into pear crumbles. And it went well! Using a recipe I found online, with some personal twists to make it A) Taste better, and B) Use up way more pears, I baked 4 big peach crumbles. And not to brag, but they had to be some of the best crumbles I’ve ever tasted. While I was in class, Mr. Sarte distributed the crumble among the other students, who adored it as much as I did. Let me just say, I hope the Fruit and Vegi program screws up like this again.
