Total Preparation Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 60 minutes

Serves: 8 to 12
Ingredients
1 sheet Store bought puff pastry
3 Pears, washed, halved, cored and sliced in ⅛ to ¼ inch slices
Egg wash (combine 1egg
and 1 Tbsp water)
3 Tbsp Turbinado sugar divided
2 Tbsp Cassina Rossa Sweet & Salt
2 Tbsp ADI Apicultura Orange Flower Honey
2 Tbsp Organic Apple Balsamic Vinegar
12 - ⅛ slices Organic Sicilian Marzipan.



Directions
Preheat oven to 400° F. Begin by thawing the puff pastry sheet at room temperature, place the dough into a fluted tart pan, folding any excess dough into the tart pan to make a wider rim. Trim any excess from the top at the edge to create a neat, clean edge. Using a fork, dock the pie dough approx 12 times.
Brush the tart dough with the egg wash, including the edges, being careful not to seal the dough to the edge. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp turbinado sugar across the bottom of the tart shell. Add 12, 1/8 inch sliced disks of marzipan across the bottom of the tart shell.

Wash 3 firm pears, slice in half and remove the core with a melon baller. Place the cut side down and using a sharp knife, slice the pear halves into 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick profile strips.

Arrange the pears on top of the marzipan, filling the tart with a nice overlapping pattern of pear.

Combine the honey and apple balsamic together and brush the surface of the pear design.

Combine the turbinado sugar and Sweet & Salt and sprinkle liberally across the pears.

Place the tart pan on a sheet tray and bake for 20 minutes, rotate the pan, reduce the temperature to 375° F and bake for approx 20 to 30 minutes longer.
​The pears should begin to caramelize and the dough will be golden brown. Allow to cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar, slice and serve! 
Buon Appetito!
