Top Recipes For Pear Tarts

It’s our favorite day of the year, National Pear Day! Whether they’re baked pears, poached pears, or right-out-of the-box pears, our Royal Riviera® Pears are number one in our hearts.

We’ve shared quite a few pear recipes with you over the years, so however you choose to celebrate it’s sure to be delicious. Out of all our  pear desserts, we’ve spent quite a while finding the perfect pear tarts. Whether you like sweet, savory, or simple fruit flavor we have found just the right recipes that we know you’ll love.

Each of these recipes work as a great starting point for making your own delicious dessert. Try adding traditional holiday spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, or even cardamom for extra holiday flair.

You can also add to the festivities with other winter fruits like cranberries or apples—both of which complement the mild sweetness of pears. Not sweet enough? Drizzle on some homemade caramel or top with vanilla ice cream to really make this one a special treat. No matter how you serve it, these oh-so-simple pear tarts always let the flavor of our famous pears shine.
