Pear Tart Recipes

Very beautiful dessert!
I reduced the amount of butter and substituted another egg for 2 egg whites in the recipe.

A basic fruit tart. Original recipe calls for making your own crust, or I used a reduced fat graham cracker crust (altho it did have some trans fat).

"Fruit tarts are very easy to make and can vary as the seasons change. Use pears that are still semifirm to ensure they keep their shape when thinly sliced. If you don’t want to use chocolate, melt ½ cup sugar-free jam or preserves with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons sugar substitute. Simmer until the mixture begins to thicken and brush over the fruit to add shine and great taste. The whole wheat crust adds a crunchy texture and extra fiber to any fruit tart.
