FRENCH PEAR TART
I love using pears in my recipes, I already have 6 of them & here's a definitely spec occasion, but make-ahead dessert I esp fancy from *The Carnival Experience* by Peter Leypold (Exec Chef of Carnival Cruise Lines). This recipe is untried other than to taste & appears a bit labor-intensive to me, but my hope is that someone labor-fearless will take my word that it is impressive & divine. (Times were not given, have been guesstimated & do not include standing + chilling times) *Enjoy* !
