Walnut-Stuffed Poached Pear Puff Pastry Tarts Directions:
Place the pear halves, water, cane sugar, cinnamon stick, star anise, and lemon peel in a wide saucepan.
Bring the liquid to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Simmer the pears for 12 to 15 minutes, turning them once, until tender but still firm enough to hold their shape.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir the vanilla into the poaching liquid.
Transfer the pears to paper towels and let them drain and cool completely.
Combine the toasted walnuts, honey, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until evenly moistened.
Fill the hollow center of each pear half with an equal amount of the walnut mixture.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the cold puff pastry rectangles on the prepared baking sheet.
Place one stuffed pear half cut-side down in the center of each pastry rectangle.
Score a decorative pear-shaped border into the pastry without cutting completely through the dough.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the pastry is fully puffed, crisp, and deep golden brown.
Let the tarts cool for 5 minutes.
Dust each tart lightly with powdered sugar and place one mint leaf near the narrow end of the pear before serving.
