Dd that recipe call for ground cinnamon and other spices or were they left whole? Unfortunately I can’t get the link you left to work?

The flavor of the cinnamon in this recipe is not at all overwhelming to me. Having said that everyone’s tastes are so different so you may want to try it with half a stick and see if that suits you better.

If the other recipe uses ground spices it will have an entirely different flavor.

Thanks! Zoë

This pie calls for d’anjou or bartlett pears with pomegranate syrup made from condensing juice.

The shortcoming with the recipe is its call for cinammon and another spice such as nutmeg, allspice, and/or clove.

We made the recipe as prescribed and found the spices overpowers the subtle flavor of the pear. It was disappointing.

At this point, we would be skeptical of even using only cinnamon in a retry.

In turn, the use of cinnamon in this tarte makes us likewise suspicious.

Enjoy the flavor of the pear and pomegranate ABSENT spice!

Thank you so much for letting me know. I’m so glad you made the tart and it was such a success!

Thanks, Zoë

I made this for our Break the Fast dinner last night (breaking the Yom Kippur fast). Out of all of the beautiful dishes, people COULD NOT stop raving about this tart! Its incredible–I used the tart dough you suggested and the people who “weren’t sure if they had room for dessert” came back for seconds and thirds! Thank you so much, I will be making this for everyone I know.

Where, oh where do you live that you have both a pomegranate and pear tree? I am so jealous. My garden yields rhubarb in the spring and that is about all!

Thank you for your kind words!

As far as this tarte, I will certainly try it. I have an amazing pomegranate and pear tree that will bear the perfect fruit for this fabulous dish!

Yeah the oven is still out. Aaaargh!!! My dearly beloved husband is Mr fixit and trying his hand at it before I call in the $200 per hour repair man. Sigh.

Bret, I love the cherry tomato idea.

Thanks for your support! Zoë
