Almond Pear Flan

I have prepared this for most holiday get together for years. You can prepare pastry case up to a day before adding filling and pears. Bake up to 3 hours before serving. This holds up well and can be prepared in advance and served the next day.

Oh, yes, what a great tasting flan! It went together so quickly, & we absolutely loved the almond/pear/apricot flavor combo! Definitely something I'd make when company's coming, but, even so, this 1st time around I happily shared some of it with a neighbor couple! Followed your recipe right on down & wouldn't change a thing! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed as a THANK YOU for playing with us in Please Review My Recipe during the recent tour]Reply
