FOOD FRIDAY: PEAR RICOTTA TART

Happy Day-After-Thanksgiving everyone!
I myself took a much needed break from crazy holiday production schedule and had the best day just cooking and hanging out with friends and eating delicious food... most definitely 3 things that rank highest on my "favorite things to do" list for sure. 
I am thankful to be writing these words and for having such excellent friends and family.  I'm thankful for this little business and the ability to make things with my own 2 hands. Something I never seem to get sick of.

So it IS Friday and the day after Thanksgiving and even though I should be in the studio cutting and sewing and hammering, I wanted to do a quick Food Fri post especially because this tart is so damn good.
I recently acquired a REAL tart pan since I took this photo and have made this recipe in said pan with successful results.  That said, a pie dish or tart pan will do!  
I have this written down in my willy-nilly book of recipes, but I think I adapted it from one of Deborah Madison's cookbooks. Bon appetit and thank you!
