Though all I use is a hand blender with a bowl attachment...<br /><br />hi Kate - thanks for visiting so often. I really hope you are better and anything I can do to help, I will!<br /><br />hi Conor - yes, I would imagine the tart would be less 'pear-shaped' if almond meal was used.. ;)<br /><br />hi mlle delicieuse - I figure, if no one knows about the shortcuts and they taste good, then it's no problem!<br /><br />hi reemski - the tart so wonderful that it didn't last long in my kitchen at all!<br /><br />hi penny aka jeroxie - maybe one day I'll get into the pastry-making, but not just yet, hehe!<br /><br />hi Lucy - thanks so much! I will definitely make tart again, though maybe with shortcrust pastry.<br /><br />hi stephcookie - yes, tinned pears are better than normal, i think, because they are more reliably good.<br /><br />hi Simon - I agree, it's weird. Maybe the processing of almonds is for those who don't have almond meal?<br /><br />hi A cupcake or two - 'rustic' is exactly the word I'd use too!<br /><br />hi Tiffany - consider the favour returned - I visit your blog for inspiration of a different kind!<br /><br />hi panda - my sentiments exactly. Just don't tell anyone about the shortcuts...<br /><br />hi pierre - merci! I didn't know that was the tart's name!<br /><br />hi Y - great thinking! I will try that next time.<br /><br />hi Arwen - the tart was a winner in terms of taste, and the pears really made it a standout, so tinned pears are winners!<br /><br />hi Maria - hehe, I thought so too!!!OohLookBelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031489606743430354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259536473826194612.post-20477305505847900372010-01-19T12:55:05.729+11:002010-01-19T12:55:05.729+11:00that looks pretty tempting, I love the fact that y...that looks pretty tempting, I love the fact that you cant see the little pear bums poking out of the frangipane, so adorableMaria@TheGourmetChallengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15151377276441364679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259536473826194612.post-52198194957225153832010-01-18T14:15:16.450+11:002010-01-18T14:15:16.450+11:00Tinned pears is a nice quick idea, and I think you...Tinned pears is a nice quick idea, and I think you're right that almond meal makes sense here.Arwen from Hoglet Khttp://www.hogletk.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259536473826194612.post-58387495829531611932010-01-17T22:04:39.239+11:002010-01-17T22:04:39.239+11:00OR, you could just do away with the pastry complet...OR, you could just do away with the pastry completely and call it a friand instead ;) See, I'm all for short cuts some times too!Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479173213358780490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259536473826194612.post-66129186539355345632010-01-17T07:02:04.438+11:002010-01-17T07:02:04.438+11:00Hi belle
