Fruit

There's something seductive about pears and almnds together, like they were born to love each other.  This tart will arouse applause from those lucky enough to be served a slice!

It's so pretty!  It's enticing and light, perfect for summer.

Mmmmm, for those of us who love fresh figs, this is a gem!  The crust has a cookie quality to it -- not too sweet -- that embraces the cream cheese filling, which compliments the fresh figs.  Then there's the chocolate drizzle, which brings it all together for an easy early fall treat.

Winner of the 'Merry Month of May' pie contest!  This recipe was created to use the Costa Rican sour oranges or 'mandarinas.'. They are very sour and are used in place of lemons.
