Guest Chef Recipe: Ginger Pear Tart


So my housemate Rachel is quite talented with the entire genre of pies. She can whip up the most incredible assortment of savory and sweet pies with ease. Somehow they are always incredible and sugar (but not fructose, honey or agave) free. Needless to say, I have started looking forward to Rachel uttering the phrase: "I feel like making pie"

This one was perfect on a rainy Seattle day with a nice cup of tea.

Ingredients:
1 9" square of puff pastry
3 D'Anjou pears-sliced
4 tablespoons of butter
1 grated stick of ginger
1/4 cup of agave
1 tbsp of fructose
1/8 tsp of salt

In a cast iron pan melt the butter then add the fructose and agave. Cook on medium heat until golden brown and bubbly. Add the minced ginger and salt, then bring to a boil again. Add the pears and cook on low heat for 15 minutes. Top with the pastry dough then put it in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 F. Enjoy!
