    Pear Tart with Puff Pastry and Blackberries

    by Patti Estep · Nov 10, 2023

    Blackberry and pear tart over a forkful of the same dessert.

    This blackberry and pear tart recipe is easy to make and has a beautiful rustic look when you bring it to the table.

    Open face tarts are so pretty and when you use puff pastry instead of pie crust they are a cinch to make.

    Box of blackberries, red pears and a package of puff pastry.

    This recipe uses fresh seasonal pears and blackberries. I thought the flavors would work well together and the contrasting colors would be a feast for the eyes.

    Blackberries, water and sugar reducing on the stove.

    How to Make a Blackberry & Pear Tart

    It's nice to brush something on the bottom of your pastry shell so that the tart is not too dry. This time I reduced some blackberries on the stove in a little water and sugar.

    Thin slices of a red pear.

    The red barlett pears are sliced thin to help them cook well. However, they are already ripe and soft.

    Puff pastry on parchment paper with edges scored.

    To prepare the puff pastry dough start by scoring the edges with a knife and then fold them up to hold the fruit.

    You should also prick the pastry with a fork so that it doesn't bubble up in unexpected places, making an uneven surface.

    Pears and blackberries on puff pastry brushed with blackberry reduction.

    Brush the bottom with your blackberry sauce and then layer the pears and berries around the shell.

    Fresh pears thinly sliced and arranged on a sheet of puff pastry with a few blackberries on top dusted with cinnamon.

    Brush a little egg wash or cream on the edges and sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar all over before baking.

    The result is this beautiful pastry you can serve for dessert alone or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's also great for a fancy weekend breakfast.

    Options:

    • You could use honey or any jarred jam to spread on the bottom. Warm them up on the stove and add a little bit of water to thin, making it easier to spread.
    • Use different kinds of fruit such as apples and raspberries. Try different combinations or stick to just one fruit that you love.
    • Skip the cinnamon altogether, or brush a little glaze on top for an alternative taste and look.

    It's easy, beautiful, and oh so tasty!
