Since everything is haywire this Thanksgiving, I’m opting for something other than the normal pie trifecta (pumpkin, apple, pecan) for dessert. Not that I don’t love pie trifecta \u2013 I do! \u2013 I’m just missing my Mom and the things she used to make with me. This Pear and Almond tart was one of her signature desserts.<\/p>\n I dug this recipe out of a 6-inch folder she kept with newspaper and magazine cut-outs. It’s a 1975 Sunset recipe that she adapted with all of her little notes and scribbles on it. Just seeing her handwriting… <\/p>\n I remember making this with her when I was little. I loved eating the tart dough because it was sweet with lemon zest and I loved poaching the pears because they<\/em> were sweet with lemon zest and I loved whipping the cream cheese filling because it<\/em> was sweet with lemon zest too! <\/p>\n This is a very simple recipe, but there is something so perfectly balanced between the lemony sugar shell, poached pears and not-too-sweet almond cream cheese filling. The lemons, almonds and pears really are their own trifecta of deliciousness. <\/p>\n I made this with Layla today. She loved it too! Every part of it, just like me when I was a kid. I think this might be a new tradition for our family. Or really, just an old one revisited and remembered with love. <\/p>\n Happy Thanksgiving friends! And P.S. the pear poaching liquid is excellent for Champagne cocktails! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/figure>\n
