Method

Hide images
step 1
Add the halved pears (2) to a bowl with the lemon juice (1) and toss well.
step 2
To make the frangipane, whisk the softened butter (100 g) and sugar (100 g) in a bowl until light and creamy. Whisk in the eggs (2), one by one, then stir in the ground almonds (100 g) and flour (40 g) with a spoon, until well combined.
step 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
step 4
Add the pastry case (1) to the baking tray. Loosen the quince and pear fruit (60 g) with a fork, then spread a thin layer over the pastry base. Spoon over the frangipane, gently pushing it into the case.
step 5
Slice the pear halves horizontally into thin slices, keeping the pear’s shape intact. Arrange each half on the tart so the neck of the pear is pointing towards the centre – see recipe image for reference.
step 6
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden – the frangipane in the centre of the tart should be cooked and not look wet. Leave to cool. Once cooled, top with the blond chocolate pecans (100 g).
step 7
Mix the crème fraîche (to taste) with the orange zest (1) and half the juice to serve alongside.
