It is an AMAZING recipe and really EASY to make. I also think this recipe was undeservedly forgotten for many years since it was posted.<br/>I agree that for some people it might not be sweet enough, but I would not advise of adding sugar, as it will give away a rustic taste to it. If you want to make it sweeter, add more honey but not sugar. I also used very ripe Anjou pears and a few slices of Bosc, that way my tart was sweet enough for me.<br/>Another point: if you use mixer to mix the ingredients do not over beat it, as butter may become separated.<br/>The consistency is moist and taste of nutmeg and almond extract compliments very well to honey and pears.<br/>I want also to admit that I cheated a little bit by adding 1/2 cup of grounded almonds (because of that I extracted 2 tbs of flour from the recipe). I hope the author of the recipe will not be offended, but I really wanted to try the combination of pears and almonds that I saw in other recipes. However I chose this one because it was easier to make and did not require to have a pie crust.<br/>Try it and you won't regret! Something different to our everyday apple pies and chocolate cupcakes :) Thank you, it helped me to make my hubby happy.

I fully agree with the cake-like texture Sugarpea was talking about. Although I enjoyed the light flavour of the honey, I'm pretty sure most people would also prefer adding about a 1/2 cup of sugar to the recipe. Otherwise, nice recipe!
