Steps:
- Place the flour, pecans, sugar, salt and egg yolk in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender until you have coarse crumbs. When your done cutting the butter into the flour mixture the crumbs should hold together when pressed between your fingers.
- Press the crumbs evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of a removable bottom tart pan. When you're patting the crumbs up the sides of the pan, pat them 1/4 inch taller than the edge of the tart pan. Place the crumb lined pan on a large plate and freeze it for 30 minutes to firm the dough and help stop the pastry from shrinking. While your waiting for the tart to come from the freezer preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- After the 30 minutes in the freezer, place the tart pan on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes or until very light brown. Remove it from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Don't turn the oven off, you'll be baking the tart at 375 degrees. But in the meantime, while the crust is cooling....
- Peel, core and cut 3 ripe pears in half lengthwise. Cut each halve into six slices. Place the pear slices in a circle (overlapping them) on the bottom of the warm crust. Set them aside a minute while we make the filling.
- To make the filling place the following ingredients into a medium bowl:1 large egg1/2 cup heavy whipping cream2 Teaspoons white sugarWhisk the ingredients together until well blended. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped toasted pecans and whisk to incorporate them. Pour the filling over the pears in the tart pan making sure the filling gets into every space in the pan. Bake the tart for 30 minutes or until the filling is set and the pears are tender. Remove it from the oven.Arrange your oven rack about 5 inches from the broiler. Turn the broiler on, sprinkle the top of the tart evenly with one Teaspoon white sugar. Place the tart under the broiler for 1- 2 minutes or until sugar is light brown. Remove the tart from the oven and cool on a wire rack for an hour.

Steps:
- To prepare the crust, in a medium bowl whisk together the whole-wheat pastry flour, all- purpose flour, granulated sugar and salt. Add the butter and using two knives or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until you get a pebbly, course texture. In a small bowl combine the buttermilk and ice water. Using a fork, gradually mix the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Pat the dough into a 4-inch round and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and prepare the filling. Peel the pears, core them and cut into 1/4-inch slices. In a large bowl toss the pear slices with the lemon juice. Sprinkle in the cornstarch, brown sugar and cinnamon and toss until the pears are evenly coated. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a large circle about nine inches in diameter. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and draping the dough over the rolling pin, transfer to the prepared baking sheet. If the dough breaks at all patch it up with your fingers.
- Arrange the pears in a mound in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch boarder. Fold the border over the filling. It will only cover the pears partially and does not need to be even.
- Bake the tart for 15 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, keeping the tart in the oven all the while, and bake for another 40 minutes, until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- In a small bowl stir together the honey and boiling water to make a glaze. When the tart is done remove it from the oven and brush the honey glaze all over the top of the fruit and crust. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Cut into 6 wedges and serve warm or a room temperature.

Steps:
- Remove refrigerated pie crust from package, and follow manufacturer's suggestions for unrolling crust. Set aside.
- Combine nutmeg, ginger, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl.
- Peel, quarter, and core 4 pears. Slice each quarter into 3 slices, from core end to bottom, and place in a large bowl. Cut remaining pear in half; peel, and core one half and add to the bowl. Peel, core, and slice the other half as directed above and add to the bowl. Drizzle pears with bourbon and sprinkle with spice-sugar mix, tossing to evenly coat.
- Melt butter in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 2/3 cup white sugar and salt to the melted butter, stirring to combine until mixture bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the single pear half in the center of the skillet. Fan remaining pear slices around the center, core end to the outside of the skillet and stem end toward the center. If possible, turn the pieces in the same direction. Keep adding pear slices, filling in any gaps, until they are all in the skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, undisturbed, until pears are fork-tender and color develops to the liquid, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven.
- Remove skillet from heat and place unbaked pie shell on top of the fruit, using a fork to tuck the edges of the pie shell toward the bottom of the skillet. Place skillet on the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake until crust is brown, 28 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Place a heat-safe plate, larger than the skillet, upside down over the crust.
- Use oven mitts to grab the plate and skillet together and quickly flip the skillet contents onto the plate; this move is tricky and requires some forearm strength and dexterity. After the flip, if the contents are not centered on the plate, use a spatula to gently move to the center. Add any fruit that remained in the skillet, and drizzle any remaining liquid over the top of the tarte tatin.
- Allow to sit 15-20 minutes, then serve warm.

Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat granulated sugar, orange zest, and 1 cup butter in a large bowl, scraping down sides, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs to bowl. Beat until combined and mixture is even fluffier, about 1 minute. Beat in 3 Tbsp. rum; stop mixer and add dry ingredients. Mix on low speed just until combined, then fold a few times with a rubber spatula, scraping bottom and sides of bowl, to ensure batter is evenly mixed. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top.

- Meanwhile, bring brown sugar, 1/2 cup cream, remaining 1/4 cup butter, and remaining 1 Tbsp. rum to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove butterscotch from heat and stir in remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Mix in remaining 2 cups pecans and let sit at room temperature, stirring occasionally,until butterscotch is cool but still pourable.
- Spread topping over torte. Whisk remaining 1 cup cream in a large bowl to medium peaks. Serve torte topped with dollops of whipped cream.
- Do Ahead
- Topping (without pecans) can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Reheat over low before mixing in the nuts. Torte can be baked 1 day ahead; store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

Steps:
- Lightly grease two 8-to-9-inch springform pans or two 9-to-10-inch tart pans with removable bottoms. Line the bottoms with greased paper. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Toast the four ounces of pecans for 15 minutes in the oven, rotating the tray once midway. Let cool.
- Mince the pecans with a sharp knife or with an on-off food processor motion, until fine but dry.
- Beat the egg yolks until light. Add the sugar gradually, until the yolks turn very creamy and form ribbons on the beater.
- Add the lemon juice, ginger juice and pepper. Beat to mix.
- Add the minced pecans and matzoh meal. Beat until blended.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until they are blended. Add salt and continue whipping until the egg white forms firm peaks but are not dry.
- Lightly fold the egg whites into the nut mixture, until well blended.
- Divide the mixture between the two prepared pans.
- Sprinkle the crystallized ginger, glaceed apricots or kumquats evenly over the top. Space eight pecan halves around the edges of each tart, putting a ninth in the center.
- Bake in the middle or the bottom third of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until a cake tester in the center of the cake comes out dry.

- Place the sugar in a 10-inch skillet or tarte Tatin pan over low heat. When some of the sugar begins to melt, begin stirring with a wooden spoon until all of the sugar is melted and begins to turn a pale golden color.

Holding the plate and skillet together using 2 kitchen towels, carefully but quickly invert the tarte onto the plate. Let stand a few minutes to cool slightly.
