I just finished making this pie, and admittedly, pie is not my forté, but I've read many a recipe in my day and this one just isn't written well.

The fact that you need to mix the corn starch with water first was left out. Nowhere does it tell you to actually cut up the pears into chunks. Yes, that's obvious and of course, I did cut them up, but it's a step that shouldn't have been left out. I don't understand why you chill the syrup after measuring it- it just got too solidified. I ended up adding some water and re-reducing it to get it thin again.

I'm not sure what the crust is going to be like. When I rolled it out, it was really delicate; like I said, I'm not a pie expert, so that could have been my fault.
