I remember when I saw his <a href="http://www.sweetfineday.com/2011/09/apple-frangipane-tart/">recipe</a> posted on the blog he cowrites with his wife and business partner Jenna, I evernoted it (is that a word?) because I just knew it will work wonderfully for these cold days where all we want is warm treats with flavors that makes us feel sheltered.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/croutonandcalisson/6835062395/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="almond pear tart with milk bottles by Heidi Leon Monges, on Flickr"><img alt="almond pear tart with milk bottles" height="960" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7171/6835062395_2cb78ba946_b.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/croutonandcalisson/6834996963/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="tart with frangipane and pears by Heidi Leon Monges, on Flickr"><img alt="tart with frangipane and pears" height="968" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7143/6834996963_9c9f6c0e14_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/croutonandcalisson/6835150931/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="slice by Heidi Leon Monges, on Flickr"><img alt="slice" height="960" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7149/6835150931_e6d988a5e6_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br />The crust was sweet but just the right amount while the filling was a soft, buttery and melting <i>fiesta</i> of frangipane and deliciously ripe sliced pears baked together. When I presented it we ate it <i>sans </i>ice cream (Mark suggests to enjoy it <i>à la mode</i>) because I think this tarte is rich enough in texture and gusto and does not need any other&nbsp;accompaniment&nbsp;except a tall glass of cold milk.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pear Almond Tart as seen on Sweet Fine day <a href="http://www.sweetfineday.com/2011/09/apple-frangipane-tart/">here</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One 11-inch/28cm tart shell, <i>pre-baked</i> (tart shell recipe <a href="http://www.sweetfineday.com/2009/01/plum-almond-tart/">here</a>, also from Mark)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1/2 cup butter, softened</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1/2 cup sugar</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2 eggs</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2 ounces/56.9gm finely ground almonds</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1 teaspoon almond extract</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3-4 pears, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick (Mark´s recipe calls for apples)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Preheat the oven to 325F/162C degrees. Beat the butter and sugar together in an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, beat for one more minute. Finally, beat in the flour, almonds and almond extract, stopping to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl if necessary. Spread this mixture in an even layer into the baked tart shell. Begin arranging the sliced apples (or pears in this case) around the side in overlapping concentric circles, until the entire top of the tart is covered. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the center of the tart is firm and fully cooked. Remove from the oven and cool completely before slicing.<br /><br />Notes: I baked my tart on a removable fluted tart mold and although I also used Mark´s recipe for the tart shell, I used whole wheat flours hence the dark colors of the crust. I´ll post my own version later on.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">En Español</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hornee ésta tarta dos veces durante el fin de año. Se convirtió en amor eterno entre mis amistades y <i>moi-même,</i> lo cual es algo extraño si consideramos que nunca he sido gran admiradora de la tarta<i>&nbsp;bordaloue,</i>&nbsp;la cual es la version francesa y sofisticada de la tarta de pera y almendras. .</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Esta version mucho más ligera pertenece a Mark, una de las mitades creativas detrás de &nbsp;<a href="http://www.sweetfineday.com/">Sweet Fine Day</a>, y quién además, al igual que mi Señor marido es Chef Pastelero. Recuerdo que cuando vi que posteo ésta receta en el blog que co-escribe con su esposa y <i>business partner</i>, Jenna, lo evernoté (¿será que así se dice?) porque simplemente supe que éste postre sería la delicia para los días frios en donde lo único que añoramos son indulgencias ricas con sabores que nos hagan sentir cobijados. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">La base o fondo de tarta tiene el justo toque de dulzor, mientras que el relleno es suave, amantequillado pero ligero, una fiesta de frangipane que se deshace suavemente en boca al mismo tiempo que uno descubre las delgadas rebanadas de pera horneadas en conjunto. Cuando la presenté a mis amistades la comimos sin adiciones (Mark sugiere disfrutarla&nbsp;<i>à la mode</i>) pero yo considero que por ser tan rica en textura y gusto lo que le viene como anillo al dedo es un vaso grande de leche fria. Pero en gustos ya sabemos, así que a servir como quieran, pero a preparar sin demora.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tarta de pera y almendra (como fue publicada en Sweet Fine day <a href="http://www.sweetfineday.com/2011/09/apple-frangipane-tart/">aquí</a>)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1 fondo de tarta <i>precocido</i> de &nbsp;11inches/28cm (receta del fondo de tarta<a href="http://www.sweetfineday.com/2009/01/plum-almond-tart/"> aquí</a>, tambien de Mark)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1/2 taza de mantequilla, derretida</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1/2 taza de azúcar</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2 huevos</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2 ounces/56.69 gm polvo de almendra</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1 cdita extracto de almendra</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3-4 peras, peladas y rebanadas a un grosor de +- 1/8 pulgada (la receta original lleva manzanas)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Precalentar el horno a&nbsp;325F/162C. Batir la mantequilla y azúcar juntos en batidora eléctrica con la pala (paddle) hasta que la mezcla esté ligera y esponjada, por alrededor de 2 minutos. Añade los huevos, batiendo por un minuto más. Finalmente, incorporar (y seguir batiendo) el harina, polvo de almendra y el extracto, detener la batidora para raspar los bordes del bowl si es necesario. Verter la mezcla (frangipane) sobre el fondo de tarta prehorneado en una capa uniforme. Arreglar las rebanadas de pera en círculos concéntricos encimando una rebanada sobre otra hasta lograr un bonito pattern y cubrir toda la torta. Hornear por 30 minutos o hasta que el centro de la tarta esté firme y completamente cocido. Retirar la tarta del horno y dejar refrescar por completo antes de rebanar y servir.<br /><br />Nota: hornee la tarta en un molde tipo removable fluted tart mold y aunque también usé la receta de Mark para la base de tarta cambié un poco la receta usando harina integral/todo usos, por eso el bronceadito intenso del crust.
