Pear Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry
• 4 cups thinly sliced peeled fresh pears
• 1 teaspoon Pure Pear Extract
• ¾ cup sugar
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon Ginger
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions:

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry into a 14-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; set aside.

2. In a large bowl, combine the pears and Pure Pear Extract. Combine sugar, cornstarch, and powdered ginger; sprinkle over the pear mixture and stir gently to combine. Spoon over pastry to within 2 inches of edges, sprinkle with walnuts. Fold edges of pastry over filling, leaving the center uncovered.

3. Beat egg white and water; brush over folded pastry. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Using parchment paper, slide tart onto a wire rack to cool.
