Simple, yet tasty. No pie pan to worry with, just the crust and filling.

Preheat oven to 350F

Pastry for one 9 inch pie.
4 pears, peeled, cored and sliced
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Teaspoon Allspice
1 Teaspoon Ginger
2 Tablespoons Butter, in small pieces

Toss the Pear slices with the sugars and spices
stir in the Butter

Roll out the pastry, place the filling in the middle. Fold up the edges. Brush the dough with milk.

Bake at 350 for an hour. Let cool, cut and serve.

The wife and I ate half, before I remembered to take a picture

Once, way back in my college days, I met a pair of tarts in a local gin mill. Both were delicious!

Seriously, this recipe looks good. Should work with other fruit (apples, peaches, apricots, etc.), too, right?

Thanks,
Barney

right Barney, but you need to be mindful of the liquid content of the fruit. Pears, and Apples give up less water, and the crust holds together. Peaches and plums etc, 'weep' more, and the crust then needs to be thicker, and you need to up the temp to closer to 400F.

Gotcha....I have a handful of apples left on my trees; I'll give it a try.

Oh yum! Thanks for the recipe, I need to find some pears.

Looks delicious. Saved it and will have to make that soon.

I did think of Steely and his twins plan when I read the title as a pair of tarts!

I could drag out that old story of mine, where I met the two English Nannys in Miami, but since this is a family board, I won't.

Somehow looks less fattening w/out the pie pan...grin
Luv to bake...will try, thanks

Sitka's birthday is today, so I decided to make one of his favorites. My version of a pear tart...

that should do just fine
