Pear and Lingonberry Pie
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. You can use either large or small pears for the pie; the main thing is that they are ripe and firm. You can use absolutely any nuts, to your taste. If your dough is white but you really want it yellow, add a little saffron or turmeric. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
