	* Exported from MasterCook * Almond Pear Tart Recipe By : Janet Hazen, Oct 1998 Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :1:00 Categories : Desserts Pastries Pears Pies & Tarts Volume 1, Oct. '98 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- ***PASTRY*** 1 1/4 cups flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 pinch salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter -- cut into bits and softened 2 tablespoons cold water -- approximately ***FILLING*** 1/2 cup sugar 6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- softened 1 large egg 3/4 teaspoon almond extract 1 cup finely ground blanched almonds 4 medium pears 1/4 cup apricot jam For the pastry: In bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or fingertips to make coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with enough water to hold dough together. Gather into a ball and flatten to a 5-inch disc; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. On a lightly floured board, roll out pastry to an 11-inch circle; fit in a 9-inch lightly greased tart pan with removable bottom. Trim edges; place pan in freezer for 30 minutes. For the filling: In bowl, cream sugar and butter until fluffy; beat in egg and almond extract. Stir in ground almonds. Spread evenly in pastry shell. Peel pears, cut into halves and remove cores. Cut each half lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices, being careful not to cut through to the stem end. Arrange 6 halves spoke fashion on top of almond filling; place 1 pear half in center. (There will be 1 leftover pear half.) Bake in PREHEATED 375F OVEN for 35 to 40 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Transfer to rack. In saucepan, heat jam with 1 tablespoon water until melted; press through fine sieve. Brush mixture over warm tart; let cool. Serve at room temperature. INTRO - Almond Pear Tart looks like an expensive dessert from a fancy pastry shop, but it is easily made at home. The pears are placed in a neat spoke pattern over a creamy, ground-almond base, then are given a sweet glaze of apricot jam before baking. The tart is best served at room temperature.
