Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 5 ounces pork sausage, casings removed 1 medium onion, halved lengthwise, 1/2 finely chopped, 1/2 thinly sliced 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese 1/2 medium green cabbage, about 1/2 pound, cored and shredded 2 dried juniper berries, slightly crushed with the flat side of a large knife 1 teaspoon caraway seeds 1 bay leaf 1/4 cup verjus, or cider vinegar 1 tablespoon light-brown sugar Short Pastry Crust All-purpose flour, for work surface 4 Anjou pears 1 tablespoon heavy cream 1 large egg yolk
Directions
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage; cook until well browned, about 3 minutes, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon. Add chopped onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add sage; cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute more. Transfer to a medium bowl; season with pepper. Stir in cheese; set aside.
Melt remaining tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in cabbage, juniper berries, caraway seeds, bay leaf, verjus, and sugar, scraping bottom of skillet to loosen any browned bits. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is wilted and tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Discard juniper berries and bay leaf.
Roll 3/4 of the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 21-by-12-inch rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Line a 13-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with dough, allowing dough to drape over edges. Freeze until cold, about 10 minutes.
Using an apple corer, remove 3/4 of the core from each pear, leaving stem end intact. Remove another tablespoon flesh from each cavity. Spoon 2 tablespoons sausage mixture into cavity of each pear; set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Assemble pie: Spread cabbage mixture in an even layer over dough. Set stuffed pears on top. Roll out remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to a 14-by-6-inch rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Cut out four 2-inch circles from dough along centerline, about 1 inch apart. Place dough over pie, with pears poking through the holes. Gently crimp edges of dough to seal. Freeze until cold, about 15 minutes.
Whisk together cream and egg yolk in a small bowl. Brush crust with egg wash. Bake pie on a rimmed baking sheet until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4 stars 01/27/2014 The combinations of flavors was absolutely delicious, and perfect for a sweet & savory fall autumn dinner. This is now on my favorites list. The only negative I had was the crust. It was pretty and acted as a moisture barrier for the sauerkraut whilst baking, but it made the dish heavy and claggy. I am making this again (tonight!) but I am leaving off the bottom crust and thinnly piping some mashed potato in place of the top crust (a pommes duchesse look). Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 10/20/2012 Pear and Sausage Pie.....looks so pretty and is intriguing. I'm taking a vote.....shall I make it? Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 09/22/2011 So many bad reviews, and no comments! I'm so temped to make it anyway; any insight on the low rating???Martha Stewart Member
