  Really went down well. Used ready made pastry and also used tinned pears, so didn't need to poach them. Very easy to make. Will be making this again

  I made this for friends, it was really easy to make and turned out really well, far too sweet for me, but was a real hit with friends who took what was kleft home with them!!

  I used normal shortcrust pasrty instead of sweet which cuts out some of the sweetness.

  Made this to take round to a friend's house yesterday. Went down a storm. Used a round tin and pears from my garden. Yummy.

  I tried this recipe because it sounded very yummy and in reality I found it extremely disappointing. A waste of good pears and a waste of good marzipan. Too sweet and sickly, it would have been much better with a frangipane mix.
