 Pears in syrup in pastry case containing ground walnuts. This is presented by J.Salmon's ) 'Favourite Somerset Recipes' as being an English specialty, but we can find no reference to it, or anything like it, in the English annals. It appears to be simply a modification of the French Tarte Normandie aux poires et aux noix, for which we provide this original receipt in unadulterated Google Translate: Tart with pears and walnuts FOR 6 PEOPLE 250 g of pastry - 3 pears - 150g walnuts - 2 egg yolks - 50 cl of cream - 75 g sugar - 25 g butter - 20 g flour Lights the oven to 200 ° (th. 6).
