Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice.

Tart can be paired with Cream Sherry, Port, and Port Wine. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try NV Solera Cream Sherry. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry

The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.

Instructions

  1. Make the tart crust (can be done a day ahead). Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter an 11 inch removable bottom tart pan.
  2. Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times, until combined. Add in the butter, pulsing until the mixture resembles small peas. Pour in the egg yolk-water mixture, pulsing until the dough is crumbly. Add more flour if it is too wet.
  3. Press the dough into the tart pan, making an even crust. Tamp it down with a glass. Pierce the crust with a fork a few times and chill for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the crust is set and golden brown. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  5. In a large pot, combine the water, wine, sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick, sage leaf, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil and simmer for a few minutes before adding the pears. Cover the pot with parchment paper and a lid, cooking over medium heat for about 25 minutes (until the pears are soft, but not falling apart.
  6. Remove the pears from the pot with a slotted spoon and cut the quarters in half.
  7. Now make the filling by cooking the butter in a small pot over medium heat for about 4 minutes (until golden brown, and giving off a nutty aroma). Pour into a cup.
  8. Whisk the eggs with the sugar, vanilla, zest and salt. Add in the flour, beating until smooth. Next, add the butter, beating until incorporated.
  9. Pour the filling into the crust and arrange the pears in a circle on top, with the thin ends pointing towards the center. Cut a few wedges in half and arrange in the middle.
  10. Bake for about an hour to hour and fifteen minutes, until the custard is set, and golden. Dust with powdered sugar, once the tart has cooled. Serve with a scoop of ice cream.
