Pear Tart Method
Preheat
oven to 425 degrees. To make the pastry: Combine the
flour with the salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a large
bowl. Cut in the butter with a knife. Blend with a pastry
blender until the flour has the texture of coarse crumbs.
Combine the egg yolk with the ice water and work into the
flour mixture to form a soft dough. Add more water if necessary.
Knead briefly and press the dough over the bottom and sides
of a buttered loose bottomed 10 inch quiche pan. Trim the
edges. Line the pastry with aluminum foil and weight with
rice or beans then bake 10 minutes. Remove foil and rice or
beans and bake until the pastry is golden 5 to 10 minutes
then cool on a rack.
To make the caramel:
Combine 1/3 cup of sugar with 2 tablespoons water in a medium
skillet. Heat to boiling and boil until the mixture turns
a light caramel color. Carefully but quickly brush the caramel
over the bottom and sides of the pastry shell.
To make filling:
Peel 6 of the pears and cut in half and remove the cores.
Cut each half into 4 slices. Place the pears in a large heavy
skillet or saucepan and combine 2/3 cup sugar, ginger and
1 cup water and pour over the pears. Heat to boiling and reduce
the heat then simmer covered until pears are soft but not
mushy 6 to 8 minutes depending on ripeness of pears then cool
and drain the pears reserving the liquid. Arrange the pears
over the bottom of the pastry shell. Peel the remaining pears
and cut into quarters and remove the cores. Cut each quarter
into thin slices. Arange symmetrically over the cooked pears.
Combine the apricot preserves with 4 tablespoons of the pear
liquid in a small saucepan. Heat to boiling and strain. Brush
the tart with half the apricot mixture then bake 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and brush with the remaining apricot mixture.
