Pear Oatmeal Bars

Today I made the (mostly unripe) pears that James came home with yesterday into a type of pear crisp. I sent one pan of it with James and Myron as they are having dinner at Karen's tonight.

Pear Oatmeal Bars
In a medium saucepan, place:
4 diced pears
1/4 c pear nectar or apple juice
1/4 c. water
Cook over meadium-low heat 3-5 mins (I cooked for longer as my pears were nowhere near ripe)
Add 1 t. vanilla
Dissolve 2 t. cornstarch in 2 T. cold water. Stir into pear pan. Bring to a boil until lightly thickened (about 1 minute)
Transfer into an 8 inch greased pan
In a bowl combine:
1 c. flour
1/2 c. oats (large flake seem to work best)
1/4 c. sugar
1.5 t. cinnamon
0.5 t. nutmeg
Cut in 4 T. butter
Sprinkle over pears (will be thinkly sprinkled)
Bake 30 mins at 350.
