This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used ripe pears. Next time I will try using less ripe pears or adding a bit of lemon juice to the filling to balance out the sweetness.

This tart was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more butter to the crust. Otherwise, the flavor was great.
