Reader Erin pointed us to her blog, Yummy Supper, and I’m really enjoying her recipes.  My parents have a pear tree, so we’re always looking for interesting things to do with pears, and this one seemed like a real winner that I can’t wait to try…

Pears and caramel…. yummmmmmm.

For Valentine’s Day, I made a pear tart tatin for my mom and P. They loved it but I wasn’t satisfied with the consistency of the caramel (too runny). I scratched that recipe and rethought the sugar/butter ratio and out came a rich, deep, sticky caramel, tender pears, and a dreamy, flaky crust. I am not exaggerating when I say… I think this is the best thing I’ve ever made.

Go read the whole thing, and get the recipe!
