This is kind of an "upside-down" tart in that the crust is placed on TOP of the fruit in the skillet. It's always been a little tricky for me to turn our but Ed's usually around for these emergencies! Read more Be sure to "tuck" crust around pears really well. See less

When do you add the sugar - before or after the pears, and does it matter?

Just be careful with the turnout, Julia. Other than that, thanks for the 5 AND I wish I were there to share your pears!

It is a delightful recipe, lin, except for tunring it out onto the plate. Cast iron is soooo heavy. Glad you like it. Thanks for the 5.
