Caramelized Pear Tart Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Lacrenshaw / All my dishes 1 year ago 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! Be sure to "tuck" crust around pears really well.... More Prep:20m Cook:33m Servings:16	Lacrenshaw

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.

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