Our big pear tree is completely overwhelming us with its bounty right now:-)
...so I'm making a french pear tart. I'm using a traditional French recipe with Frangiapane from nookandpantry - YUMMY! Frangiapane is a very naughty mix of butter, sugar and ground almonds. This crust looks super flaky and yummy too - it is called 'Pate Sucre' which is the French sugary style of crust for things like tarts. I gotta say, living in the country with a mini-orchard is pretty sweet. We get pears, apples, pomegranets, olives, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, peaches, figs, plums and a ton of different varieties of grapes. Ahh, the bounty of nature!
