I have been inspired by binging the British Baking Show. Though this recipe was not in my grandmother's recipe box, I know she would have approved and loved trying this French dessert. I don't have the exact recipe as I usually search for recipes and then use part of several. You can find recipes for all of these components so pick your favorites and put them together. Poach the pears with sugar, cinnamon stick and lemon peel. (Leaves you with a great simple syrup to make a cocktail with if you are so inclined) Make a sweet short crust and blind bake. You can buy baking beans or just use regular beans. Slice the pears and fan them out a bit Make frangipane Fill the tart with frangipane Place the pears on the tart and bake. Cover the crust with foil so it doesn't burn. Share and Enjoy!
I have my grandmother's recipe box. Inside it, you will find some family favorites, some duplicate recipe cards written out at different times, some recipes with no names and many recipes without directions. I am going to randomly choose a recipe every week or so from her recipe box and you will see it here.
