A "Peary" Simple Dessert

My Mother used to serve us coarsely crushed graham crackers topped with real whipped cream and canned pears.  My kids have been asking for it, so tonight I made it for dessert. 
The funny thing is the boys had just come home from the neighbors where they had been playing and our youngest exclaimed, "I'm  not hungry for dinner.  I just ate about 50 (fresh) pears!"  He still ate a little bit of dinner and this pear dessert, but didn't quite have enough room for seconds.  

When we had a pear tree, we used to use fresh pears too.  Canned pears just let you serve this quick, simple, refreshing dessert anytime or any season.
