If you use a jar or can of pears, the pears are softer and will be nice and tender when the pastry is done. Unless they are really ripe, the pears won't be done when the pastry is done. Tip: Don't use fresh pears for this recipe. This will allow the pastry filling to puff up and "hug" the pears. Make sure the pears have plenty of room to "breath" and aren't touching each other. Place each pear half on to the filling with the more narrow, pointed end facing in. When your filling is well-mixed, dollop the filling into your (very cold) tart crust, and smooth it out with an icing spatula. Using pure extract is recommended for this recipe to get the best flavor for this delicious dessert!

Fold in the excess around the edges to create a double crust, and it will give a little more stability to this delicate dessert. When the dough has chilled, roll out and lay it over the tart tin. It also keeps the nice fluted edges in place for a beautiful presentation (this link goes to Amazon where I am an affiliate partner). Tip: It's better to make the crust the day before so the dough is nice and cold and much easier to work with the day you plan to roll it out.Ī crucial step in this recipe is to use a tart tin with a removable bottom, this will make it easiest for removing the tart of the tin and on to your serving platter.
