About Recipe

Here’s another summer fruit recipe: Poached Pear Tart. We harvested our pears this week and had a big crop, even with all the heavy pruning we did last year. Everyone in the family has a specialty – pear preserves, pear cobbler, pear crisp. Mine is this tart made with poached pears over vanilla pastry cream – soft, juicy pears over luscious vanilla cream and a crunchy pastry crust – yummy. I like this recipe because all three components: the pastry crust, vanilla pastry cream and poached pears can all be made a day or two ahead of time and assembled just before serving.
