Directions:
- For the crust, stir the flours together, add 1 tbsp. sugar, mix well. Work in the shortening with a special tool, or a fork, until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Add water and stir till moistened.
- Spoon out the dough onto a slightly floured surface and roll out to fit a 9-inch pie dish. To transfer, wrap it around the rolling pin first. You could also just shape the dough in the pie dish to fit , instead of rolling it. The crust has to come up the sides of your baking dish.
- Prick the crust with fork, cover with foil and place a small cast iron pan on top for the weight, or wrap a brick into the foil and place on top. This will prevent the crust from rising while it bakes.
- Bake in preheated 400F oven for 20 min. Remove foil during the last 5 min of baking.
- Beat all the filling ingredients together, except for the jam, pears and preserves.
- Reduce the oven temp. to 350F. Spread the raspberry OR strawberry jam on the bottom of the crust and spoon over the filling.
- Drain the pears and arrange them, cut side down, in the filling. If using fresh pears, halve them first, core and boil in small amount of water until soft.
- Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top and bake for 30 min., until firm and golden brown.
- Microwave the peach OR apricot preserves for about 30 sec, or until liquidy. Brush the preserves over top of your tart like a glaze.
- Serve with whipped cream or ice cream on top for a double pleasure.
