Ingredients
6 ounces almond paste
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons flour
3 ounces
1 large egg
a few drops almond extract
1 1/2 teaspoons rum
3 poached pears
One pre-baked 9-inch tart shell, at room temperature
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375F . Set the pre-baked tart shell on a baking sheet. 2. In a stand mixer, or by hand, beat the almond paste with the sugar and flour, until smooth. Some almond pastes may be drier than others. If yours is dry, just mix until the almond paste is finely-broken up. 3. Gradually beat in the butter, until smooth, then beat in the egg and the egg white, the almond extract, and the liquor. 4. Spread the almond filling evenly over the tart shell 5. Fan the pears out evenly over the almond filling, then press them in slightly. 6. Bake the tart for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until the almond filling between the pears has browned. 7. Cool slightly before serving, or serve at room temperature. Glaze, as desired.
