Recipe: Amy's Pear Tart
Ingredients
1 cup of sugar
3 oz. of unsalted butter
3 drops lemon of juice
A pinch of cinnamon
A pinch of salt
5 firm, ripe pears (Bosc, Bartlett, or Warren)
1 10" X 12" sheet puff pastry cut into 10" round
Preheat oven to 375F.
Peel, half, and core pears. Slice into long 1/4 inch slices.
Caramelize the sugar and butter until deep golden brown in a 10" heavy-metaled saute pan. Take off of heat, and add the lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Swirl in the pan to incorporate. Next, lay the sliced pears in the pan so the slices overlap. Place pan back over heat. and allow sugar to come up in the pan. Then, place 10" round of pastry over pears. poke the puff pastry with a fork all over. Place in 375F oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crisp. Pull it out of the oven, and allow the tart to rest for 20 minutes. Place plate over the pan and turn over quickly. Finally, pull the pan off and voila!

adventure encouraged
posted by Peachy 1 years ago flag My husband saw this application on the site and encouraged me to do this adventure. I'm not much of a cook, and he has always raved of his mother's home cooking. I'm certainly not his mother, but I think that being able to make a few dishes would be pretty cool. |

Fruit desert
posted by janzul2 1 years ago flag I think the idea of fruit in desert is really awesome. I mean, pear tart is no double chocolate cake with whipped cream, extra icing, and a couple cherries on top, but what is? I'd be interested in a few more cooking intensive episodes. Will Amy be featured again? |

A favorite book
posted by Maxine 12 months ago flag I have read other food memoirs, but this is my favorite. If you love to cook and you haven't read this book, you should. My friend gave it to me for my birthday, and now I'm saving up to visit Paris for my next birthday. |

Loved this book
posted by Annabelle 12 months ago flag This is one of my favorite books from the past year. It's too bad that this episode doesn't talk about the book much. It's a great read, and it made me want to quit my job and move to Paris. If you're stuck in a rut in life, it's a truly inspirational read. And, the recipes are tasty, too. (The mustard chicken is one of my favorites.) |

Fluff!

Going out
posted by DaniMiller 1 years ago flag You know, I've cooked for my family and friends for years and you know nothing helps. I read this one and thought it was a great read, but the fact of the matter is that it didn't help my cooking. I'm still making pigs in a blanket and sloppy joes. I can't pull off the gourmet dishes. Oh well, I always vote for going out. I mean, all those chefs do it for a living. |
