Do you know what I love about spring and summer, well besides the warm weather — all the colorful, fresh fruit and vegetables I can purchase at the local farmers market. I love seeing the rows of freshly picked produce ready for me to take home.
There’s something about all the bright colors that gets me all excited to get in the kitchen and whip up something special. While I know that pears are more of a late summer or fall harvest, it didn’t stop me from sharing this latest recipe for Mini Pear Tarts from one of my contributors. Just think of all the other tart possibilities from all the other fruits coming into season.

Y’all, homemade mini pear tarts in 30 minutes! I love it. So simple and just perfect in every way.
The crust is light and flaky. The pears are soft and sweet. And it’s portion control without even trying.
Just perfect.
There isn’t a huge ingredient list. There isn’t a long list of instructions. It really is super easy, y’all. This Mini Pear Tarts recipe is even great for getting the kids into the kitchen with you to help. Make it a family event and then enjoy the fruits of your labor together when they’re finished baking.
The kids will thank you, I’m sure.
