Choose ripe but firm pears for this delightful fruit tart. They are poached in a vanilla-scented syrup until just tender, then drained overnight; so plan accordingly. Note that most of the sugar in the syrup is drained off.

Steps:
- Split the vanilla bean in half and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a paring knife. Place the water and the 1/2 cup (100 grams) of sugar in a saucepan, add the vanilla bean and seeds and bring to a boil over medium heat. When the syrup comes to a boil turn the heat to low, add the pears, and poach on medium heat for 5 minutes, or until the pears soften slightly. Do not over-cook. Set a strainer over a bowl and carefully transfer the pears to the strainer. Refrigerate and let drip overnight. Set aside the syrup for another purpose (it's great with yogurt or ice cream).
- The next day prebake the pastry [ed: please link], then turn the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons (30 grams) sugar together in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the milk, egg yolks and vanilla extract.
- Toss the poached pears with the diced candied ginger and arrange evenly over the bottom of the prebaked tart shell. Pour in the custard mixture, filling the tart 4/5 of the way so that a rim of crust is exposed. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until beginning to color and the flan has set.

GINGER PEAR PUFF PASTRY TART
Steps:
- INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the puff pastry on a clean, lightly-floured work surface. Cut a rectangle about 6" wide by 10" long, so that the puff-pastry is about 3/4" wider than the pear slices on each side. Place the pastry on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Combine the butter, brown sugar, ginger, vanilla extract and cinnamon, mixing well. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the top of the puff pastry with the butter mixture. Leaving a 3/4" border, layer the pear slices on top of the puff pastry, alternating directions to create a wave-like pattern. Brush the top of the pears with the remaining butter mixture, and sprinkle with the demerara sugar. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for five minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm pears: This will ensure that they hold their shape during baking and provide the best flavor.
- Peel and core the pears carefully: Use a sharp knife to avoid bruising the fruit.
- Slice the pears thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a good-quality butter: This will make the crust flaky and flavorful.
- Work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs: This will help to create a light and flaky crust.
- Add just enough water to bind the dough together: Too much water will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help to prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- Use a tart pan with removable sides: This will make it easy to remove the tart from the pan.
- Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will ensure that the tart is cooked through.
- Let the tart cool slightly before serving: This will allow the filling to set.
