The crispy, buttery pastry boat is filled with tender pears that have been cooked in a delicious caramel sauce. The combination of the sweet, caramelized pears and the flaky, pastry is simply irresistible.

To make this dessert, you will need both homemade pastry and cooked pears. The homemade shortcrust pastry is surprisingly easy to make and requires just a few simple ingredients. The cooked pears are also very straightforward and require just a bit of patience while they cook down to their tender perfection.

To start, you will need to make the shortcrust pastry boats. Begin by combining flour, a pinch of salt, and butter in a mixing bowl. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Then, add cold water one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball.

Once the dough has formed, wrap it in cling film and put it in the fridge to chill for at least an hour. After it has chilled, remove it from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface. Cut the pastry sheets into rectangular shapes, each about 5 inches long and 1 inch wide.

Next, fold the pastry rectangles into boats by gently pressing down the two longer edges, leaving the two short edges open. Carefully fill the boats with the cooked pear filling.

For the cooked pear filling, start by peeling and slicing 4 fresh pears. In a large pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add 50g of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of honey. Stir continuously until the sugar and honey have melted and are combined into a thick, syrupy caramel.

Then, add the sliced pears to the caramel and sauté them on a medium heat for about 10 minutes, until they have softened and have absorbed the delicious flavor of the caramel sauce.

Once the pears are cooked, spoon them carefully into the shortcrust pastry boats. Bake in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

These shortcrust pastry boats with cooked pears are a wonderful, warming dessert that will be sure to impress your dinner guests. They are perfect for an indulgent weekend treat or for a special event like Christmas or Thanksgiving.

The combination of the sweet, tender pears and the buttery, flaky pastry is a match made in heaven. The caramel sauce adds an extra depth of flavor and lends a slight smokiness to the dish.

Overall, this is a simple yet impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Try this recipe today and treat your taste buds to something truly special.
