Be sure you don’t leave too much space between the pieces. ![]() That way, the longer pieces will line up nice and upright. Try to use the smaller outside pieces of pear first, as a bit of a base. Be sure the larger end of the pear is closer to the traced line, and have the pears overlap. Next, begin layering your pear inside the center of the dough. I was a little skeptical at first that tracing a thin border would create the puffed edges, but it really worked. I would have preferred the dough’s width be about 8″, and then the 1″ border would have made for a much more narrow tart. This 1″ border will cause the ends to puff up around the filling when cooking, and create edges around the pears. Be sure not to go all the way through the dough. The Pepperidge Farm dough was about 9″ square, and I traced a border of about 1″ around it with a butter knife. Once the pears are cut, unfold the dough, placing it on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Next, place the pear flesh side down, and slice lengthwise about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Then, use a paring knife and cut out the core. Slice the stem and very top off of the pears and then slice the pears in half lengthwise. It was not the size and shape I wanted, but it worked just fine.īefore you start cutting and layering, mix up the sugar and spice ingredients in a medium sized bowl and set aside. To make the pear tart, you just need five ingredients:Ģ Harry & David’s Organic Royal Riviera Pears (substitute different quality pears if you MUST…)ġ sheet Frozen Puff Pastry Dough (a rectangle that is about 12 x 8 is ideal)ġ teaspoon cinnamon (I improvised and did 3/4 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp all spice)įor the tart “crust”, I went with a frozen puff pastry dough from Pepperidge Farm. Though Harry & David did provide the pears for this post and the below giveaway, I have been a loyal customer personally as well on a corporate level for years. Harry & David’s 80th anniversary is next year, and they still use all natural grafting methods, instead of genetically modifying the seeds. These pears are included in just about every Harry and David gift basket, and like most tree fruit, they’re not genetically modified (non-GMO). Harry & David’s organic Royal Riviera pears were just the ticket. They need to be perfectly ripe, sweet, juicy, and healthy. The most important ingredient for the tart, of course, is the pears. I then paired three different dessert wines, and euphoria ensued. ![]() My friend Linda gave me this easy, 5 ingredient recipe that came out perfectly. I asked friends for a pear tart recipe, something to remind me of the one I had when in Paris. When Harry & David asked if I’d like to host a giveaway (end of this post) of one box of their organic Royal Riviera pears during the holidays, I knew it would be a great excuse to make an easy but delicious dessert, and pair it with some sweet wines. The Diversion also has an optional upgrade if you'd like to send your gift basket with a set of Boska stainless steel cheese knives.While any day is a good day for dessert, a holiday is the best excuse to enjoy it with a dessert wine. The spiced plum preserves with port and star anise is particularly amazing with the Bayley Hazen Blue. Included are also four jars of local Blake Hill Preserves, which were created to pair specifically with these Jasper Hill cheeses. The Diversion gift basket is our go-to because it showcases the wide range of Jasper Hill Farms' cheeses, including our personal favorite the Harbison, a dippable cheese aged in spruce and encased in a gorgeous bloomy rind. Their exceptional cheeses range from cloth-bound cheddars to robust blues and creamy soft-ripened wheels. Jasper Hill Farm's award-winning cheeses are produced and aged in their on-site creamer in Northeastern Vermont. ![]()
