On Thanksgiving, I was standing in my in-laws’ house when my brother-in-law walked in with a giant box of Asian pears and said, “Here you go!”

At first, I was like, “Umm, okay?” Then he told me that his dry cleaner had given him some pears, but he had no idea what to do with them and thought I might be able to use them.

I gladly took my box of pears and started brainstorming.

Since it’s winter, I figured a crisp was 100% necessary.

The thing I love most about this dish is its total homeyness. It reminds me of the type of dish I would find at my grandma’s house but with a little Brandy twist. As much as I love my grandma, she would never have thrown rosemary in her crisp.

If you’re on the fence about herbs in sweets, I PROMISE it’s not weird!

I’ve done it several times with my Cranberry Orange Rosemary Muffins, Blueberry Lemon Thyme Muffins, and Strawberry Basil Shortcake.

I also decided to add a few golden raisins because I think golden raisins are underrated. They are little nuggets of sweetness that are always appreciated and wanted.
