I have been following Dorie Greenspan's blog for some time and ever since I read the post on this French Pear Tart (almost exactly a year ago,yikes!) I book marked it and dreamt of making it and even more eating it. Finally this past weekend, I put my spanking new Cuisinart to use and set about making this delectable tart. Dear readers, it was to say the least, sublime. For the recipe go here. The only change I made was substituting the 2/3 cup of sugar for light brown sugar (which I had at hand) in the almond cream. This, as mr. a so poignantly remarked, gave the filling a 'dulce de leche' taste to it, yum! Making this tart can be a bit time consuming for the amateur tart maker (moi), but If you have a little time on a wintry Sunday morning it is worth every second. Sublime...did I say that already, well it was. It is true delight with a pipping hot Jasmin tea on the side. Enjoy! Happy tart making!
p.s. although ours didn't come out as beautiful as images above, it was absolutely scrumptious and gobbled up same day we made it. thank you Ms. Greenspan.
