Marion, lacking only the addition of some flour & butter & possibly a
sweetener to form a batter, and the OMISSION of pulping the pears (something
that would have been more of a requirement with heritage breeds which have
far more "strings" in the pulp), the finished product sounds very much like
the "Quick Cobbler" which I was raised with mundanely.  In that modern
instance, you indeed get a firm-at-the-edge-goopy-middled product.

When's dessert? <YUuuuummmmmmmm!>
