Ingredients
FOR THE GLAZE
1/2 cup red currant jelly
3 tablespoons sugar
FOR THE PEAR FILLING
5 large Anjou, Bartlett, or Bosc pears, almost ripe
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup sugar
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
1/4 cup calvados or applejack
2 cups (1 pint) heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
FOR THE RASPBERRY COULIS
1 12 ounce package frozen raspberries, defrosted
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Directions
For the tart shell bake the tart according to the directions .
Roll out the excess dough and cut out a pear and 2 leaves.
Place these cutouts on a lightly buttered cookie sheet and bake them along with the tart, pricking them when they puff up.
prepare the glaze While the tart is cooking, combine the jelly and sugar in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Boil until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid coats the back of a metal spoon, about 3 minutes.
Brush the inside of the tart and the cutouts with the glaze.
For the pear filling Peel, core, and cut each pear into 16 slices.
In a large, heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
When it has foamed, add the pears and, depending on ripeness, cook, shaking and gently turning the slices of fruit with a wooden spatula about 3 to 5 minutes, until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the sugar over the pears, and continue cooking over medium heat until the sugar melts into a syrup, about 7 to 10 minutes.
The pears should be tender without any hard spots.
Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
Stir the lemon zest, ginger, calvados, and cream into the poaching syrup, raise the heat to medium high, and boil the mixture, stirring Continuously with a wooden spoon, until it is thickened and reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
As the cream thickens, adjust the heat down so that it slowly bubbles.
Drain any liquid from the pears into the cream mixture and boil for 1 minute longer.
Arrange the pears in an overlapping decorative pattern in the shell.
Pour the cream over the pears, spreading it with the spoon.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over the cream.
Run the tart quickly under the broiler for a few minutes to color the top or use a salamander.
To avoid burning the crust, cover it with aluminum foil.
Remove the tart from the broiler, place the pear and leaves in the center, and let it cool to lukewarm or room temperature.
Prepare the raspberry coulis While the tart is cooling, or ahead of time, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel chopping blade and puree until the berries are smooth.
Pass the mixture through a strainer into a serving bowl.
