Galettes are the perfect fall dessert because you get all the flavour of a flaky fruit-filled pie but with a rustic home-style look. Firm Bosc pears are ideal for baking; they stay crisp when ripe and keep their shape.

This classic fall dessert uses honey in place of highly processed corn syrup. Preheat the baking sheet along with the oven. This will help the pastry cook to a perfect golden brown on the bottom. Serve at room temperature to allow the filling to set.

Aug 6, 2005

This is a memorable fall tart that calls for one essential ingredient: fully ripe and juicy pears, Bartlett being the most fragrant. Hard crisp pears will not soften enough to bake with the pastry. Since pears are harvested when they're still hard, you need to ripen them ahead for this dessert. Enclose them in a single layer in a paper bag and store at room temperature away from sunlight for 3 to 4 days, or uncovered on a tray, about 5 days.
