I'm not a fan of ginger, but I still enjoyed these shortcakes. The pears and spices helped to mellow out the ginger flavor.

I love that these shortcakes can be made with fresh or canned pears. It's a great way to use up leftover pears.

These shortcakes are the perfect make-ahead dessert. I made them the day before my party, and they were just as delicious the next day.

I'm a vegan, so I substituted vegan butter and milk for the regular butter and milk. The shortcakes turned out perfectly! I'm so glad I found this recipe.

I made these shortcakes gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out great! My celiac friends were so happy to be able to enjoy a delicious dessert.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour. The shortcakes turned out just as good, and my family loved them!

I had some trouble finding fresh pears, so I used canned pears instead. The shortcakes still turned out great, but I think they would have been even better with fresh pears.

The shortcakes were a little dry, but the ginger pear filling was delicious. I think I'll try adding some more butter to the shortcake dough next time.

These shortcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
