Rosy Poached Pear and Pistachio Tart (sans most of that) - Tuesdays with Dorie

Rosy Poached Pear Tart ...sorta

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Lauren of I'll Eat You selected Rosy Poached Pear and Pistachio Tart on pages 370 and 371 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.

If you are a pessimist, you could call this a major fail (not the recipe, but me).
If you are an optimist, you can call this a very figure friendly adaptation to the printed dessert.

I only got my one pear poached. No crust. No nuts. No pastry cream. And, heck, no partridge in a pear tree.

But my pear ROCKS.

I don't drink so I tried poaching it in a Pomegrante Cranberry cocktail. However, after a few minutes on the stove, I knew the color of the drink wasn't strong enough to transfer to the pear. I searched the kitchen for other red products.

Hum, here is what I found:
1. ketchup
2. kimchi
3. sriracha "rooster" sauce
4. tomato sauce
5. cranberries in the freezer

Guess what I threw into the pot?

Presenting the Pom Cranberry Poached Pear Tart!

I hope to someday make the whole recipe, but I am really enjoying this dairy-free option! ;)
