I love pretty desserts that look like you spent a lot of time making them. This pear tart is one of those desserts, but it can be made in 30 min. or so start to finish. The hardest part of this tart was cutting the pears really thin. Had I used a mandoline slicer it probably would have been easier and my slices would have been more uniform.
I came across this recipe in HyVee Seasons Magazine. The whole family loved it, and I love that it’s easy. I halved the recipe because it was just for my family of four and the recipe makes 18 squares. This tangy pear tart would be perfect for a fall gathering with friends. Your friends will be impressed. Let me know if you try it.

Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you
get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?
I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any help is very much appreciated.
I do get a lot of spam. I’m on wordpress and I have a plugin called askimet that catches a lot of the spam comments. I still get a few that come through, but it catches the majority of them.
