Dissappointment at its highest

I was very dissappointed with this particular recipe. The result was horrendous I have to say. I followed the instructions very carefully yet the taste as well as the presentation of the outcome forced me to toss everything in the garbage after just one bite.




Great Idea, but made slightly different...

I'm giving 5 stars because I love Sandra, and I love her joy and creativity. I pretty much followed this recipe exactly, except I added sliced fresh apples with the canned pears (well drained...) Instead of the liquor, I sprinkled cinnamon on top. The tart was light and tasty, I my husband even took the rest of it to work with him, so I guess I have to make more!!!




Poor texture

I would go so far as to call it mushy. The flavor was hard to detect and it didn't make up for the texture.

After I made my first peach pear tart, my daughter was begging for more. In a very short time, it's become a family favorite!

I made this for my family as a dessert but everyone felt it was missing something. There needs to be something extra added as the tart itself was bland. I'm willing to try it again once I've decided what to add for more favoring.

I made this for the family and they thought it was as good as something you can find in Paris. I used sliced peaches and arranged them in a row and added mango rum ILO the other liquer. Thanks.




Mushy, tasteless, will not try again

User: Jacqueline from Avon, CT    User Rating:
This was a total disappointment. I took a look at what they showed on TV and thought hmm this would be a good desert, however the recipe is off. The canned pears is a bad idea, puff pastry gets all mushy and there is not much taste overall. I almost am mad at myself for trying this. Never again.




Didn't taste anything like pears

They start out pretty mealy and tasteless right from the can. When they are cooked they get even worse. This is one recipe where she should have used fresh pears.

I love the taste of canned pears, and this is a great way to showcase that taste. YUM! I made mine with half canned and half freshly cut pears so it had a canned and fresh consistency to it all at the same time. The crust is so good too. This is the best tart.

This was very very good. I feel the canned pears gave this tart a nice sweet flavor that fresh pears would not have. It would be good with fresh too, but it would have a little bit of a lighter taste to it.

This was incredibly easy. I left out the butter and sprinkled with brown sugar instead of 10x sugar, regardless, it was a fantastic ligh dessert. Next time, I'll let the kids help, it was just that easy to make.

Ahh, this was definitely a comfort food. It tasted similar to, but even better than, Pepperidge Farms turnovers. It was easy to make and it was a pretty presentation. I think apples would be just as good. And next time I'm going to try fresh pears, for a little texture.
