Pear & Almond Tart

After my visit to Hughenden Manor I've been craving a pear and almond tart, so I had ago at making on myself. For a first attempt at pasty, it turned out rather well! To be honest, two people managed to polish off this family sized tart over two days - I'm not even ashamed.

I followed this recipe, I was surprised how simple the tart actually was to make. It tastes lovely, the almonds give it a slightly marzipan flavour which works really well with the sweet, firm pears. 

I think I overworked the pasty, and it did taste a bit stiff on the second day.

The fruit makes this tart perfect for summer, as it tastes light and fresh. It is best served with either cream or vanilla ice-cream.
