PEAR AND CHOCOLATE TART
My version of a recipe found on a free supermarket recipe card! It's chocolaty, juicy, and scrumptious. The tart is best served warm with creme fraiche.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Roll pastry out to 1/4 inch thickness and use it to line a 9-inch tart dish. Prick the pastry with a fork and then place into the freezer for 20 minutes to prevent pastry from rising during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Set crust aside. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Heat a saucepan about 1/3-full of water to a low simmer, about 5 minutes, then reduce heat to lowest setting. Place a heat-proof bowl over the pan in such a way that it does not touch the water. Add chocolate to the bowl and allow to melt. Limit stirring to an absolute minimum to prevent chocolate from separating.
- Mix ground almonds, eggs, sugar, and butter together in a bowl. Add warm melted chocolate and stir to combine. Pour chocolate mixture into the baked pastry crust.
- Arrange pears on top of the tart by pressing them into the chocolate mixture.
- Bake in the hot oven until pastry is golden and mixture is firm, 35 to 45 minutes.

CHOCOLATE PEAR TART
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with oil or cooking spray.
- Place the sheet of puff pastry on the baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool completely. (Turn the oven off; the rest of the tart does not require baking.)
- Meanwhile, place the sugar, chocolate chips, and cream in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely melted. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
- Drain the pear halves and cut each one into 8 wedges. Place the wedges on paper towels and let drain for at least 15 minutes. (If the pears have too much juice on them it will make the chocolate watery.)
- Spread the chocolate over the top of the puff pastry, avoiding about 1 inch around the outside edge. Shingle the pear wedges over the chocolate. (The tart can be kept at room temperature for several hours before serving, but leftovers should be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated.)
- Food for Thought
- One medium pear can contain as much as 5 grams of fiber, which is beneficial to your heart, digestive system, and cholesterol levels. The same size pear contains only 100 calories even though it contains high concentrations of levulose, which is the sweetest of the natural sugars. Sweet, juicy, and healthy, how can you pass that up?

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with nonstick cooking spray.;
- Sprinkle the cutting board with flour. Roll-out the creases.;
- Unfold the pastry onto parchment paper. Using a fork, pierce a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the puff pastry. Prick the center of the pastry as well, about 10 times all over.
- Arrange the fruit, nuts, and cheese on top of the pastry in a uniform manner, avoiding the border. Brush the fruit with the melted butter and top with the cinnamon and sugar. Bake 15 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and beginning to puff.
- If desired, brush the honey over the fruit and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Serve warm with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- Puff Pastry Variations:
- Apricot Plum Tart: Cut 2 plums and apricots into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange on top of puff pastry and brush with melted apricot preserves rather than honey.
- Rhubarb Tart: Thinly slice 8-ounces rhubarb stalks on the diagonal and marinate in 1 cup orange juice and 1/2 cup sugar for 10 minutes. Strain the rhubarb, reserving the juices. Arrange the rhubarb slices on top of the puff pastry. Sprinkle with white sugar. While the pastry bakes, reduce the rhubarb juices until it becomes a syrupy glaze. When the pastry finishes, brush the pastry with the glaze.
- Pear, Pecan and Blue Cheese Tart: Slice 3 cups Bartlett pears and place on the puff pastry. Top with 1/2 cup chopped pecans. After brushing on the honey, top with 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles.
