Are pears in season now? Summer is indeed long gone. Sigh. But this tart is absolutely gorgeous. I've never made a pear tart with poached pears standing up like yours. This is certainly something I will have to try. Beautiful tart, Denise. Oh my! Are pears in season now? Summer is indeed long gone. Sigh. But this tart is absolutely gorgeous.
