Pear Crisp with Almond Topping
While oven is heating to 375 degrees, make topping with: 6 tablespoons Taber Ranch Extra Virgin Arbequina Olive Oil 1/2 cup finely ground Taber Ranch roasted Almonds 3/4 cup Brown Sugar 2/3 cup Flour 1/4 teaspoon Salt 1/2 teaspoon grated Nutmeg 1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon. Combine the oil with the other ingredients until you have a coarse, crumbly mixture. Set this aside. Oil an 8" x 10" gratin dish. Line the dish with 2 1/2 pounds peeled, cored, and sliced ripe but firm Pears, about 1/2 inch thick, tossed with 1/2 teaspoon grated Nutmeg. Spread almond topping evenly over pears. Set the dish on a sheet pan to catch any drips and bake until the juices from the fruit are bubbling and the topping is brown, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Taber Ranch
Since 1867, the Taber family has been growing a varied and changing array of crops in the Capay Valley. We've raised wheat, barley, sheep, hogs, grapes, and, since 1999, olives for award-winning oil. Our first almond trees were planted in 1890, as the almond industry was just beginning in California. Some of those trees survive, even as we have replanted the main orchard.
Taber Ranch 2010 Harvest Koroneiki Olive Oil received a Gold Medal from the 2011 Yolo County Fair. Our 2010 Harvest Arbequina received a Silver Medal. We are at the Davis Farmers Market every other Saturday selling both varieties — May 7, 21; June 4, 18; July 2, 16, 30. The Arbequina is available in 500 ml bottles at the Capay Valley Vineyards tasting room in Brooks, at Root Stock on Main Street in Winters, and from the Capay Valley Farm Shop. Please call (530) 908-2083 for information on shipping, or any other questions.
