I don't know how I've lived my whole life without ever having eaten a pear and almond tart. My favorite kind of desserts are things with chocolate, coffee or cream. So I tend to stay away from anything and everything else. But I'm so glad I forayed into this little realm of the dessert world (by that, I mean, tarts).
The only changes I would make to this recipe is that I would use less sugar overall in all of the steps. I would also use 1 tablespoon less of the butter and add a dash of almond extract to the filling. And just add more almonds in general.
