Tart: Pear Almond Tart
Source of Recipe
Domino Sugar
List of Ingredients
Pastry for single crust 9-inch pie
1/4 cup - butter or margarine, softened
3 ounces - cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup - firmly packed Domino® Light Brown Sugar
1 - egg
1 cup - finely ground blanched almonds
3 tablespoons - maple syrup
1 teaspoon - almond extract
1 tablespoon - all purpose flour
1 - (29 ounce) can pear halves in heavy syrup
Recipe
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom with pastry; trim edges until pastry is even with top edge of pan. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, ground almonds, maple syrup, almond extract and flour. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared tart shell.
Drain pears reserving liquid. Place each pear half, round-side-up, on a cutting board and cut crosswise into thin slices. Arrange pear halves on filling, rounded-sides-up and narrow ends pointing toward center. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until the tart shell is golden and the filling is browned.
While the tart is baking, bring the reserved pear liquid to a boil in a small saucepan; reduce to 1/4 cup. Brush pear glaze over the fresh-from-the-oven pears. Cool completely on a wire rack. Serve at room temperature.
Makes 8 servings.
