2 T butter
2 T sugar
1/4 c water
1/8 t nutmeg
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes over low heat.
Remove pears and boil juices down to 3-4 Tablespoons.
In a small bowl, add juices and
3 egg yolks
and beat until thick, then add gradually while beating:
1/2 c sugar
Continue to beat until stiff. Then add:
2/3 c toasted almonds, ground into bits
3 T butter, room temperature
Set aside.
In separate bowl, beat to soft peaks:
3 egg whites
then gradually add
2 T sugar
and continue beating until stiff
Fold this meringue into egg yolk mixture gently and spoon it into round (if possible) baking dish.

You can substitute golden delicious apples for the pears.
