Pear Tarte Fine, Miso Caramel
Thin pastry, pears fanned tight to the edge, baked dark, with a miso caramel that brings salt to the sweetness.
A fruit tart is judged from underneath. If the base is pale the whole thing is wet, no matter how good it looks from above.
Miso in the caramel is the modern move and it earns its place: it brings salt and a savoury depth that stops the pear tasting like jam.
