A Ginger and Pear Tart and Holiday Entertaining Tips

This ginger pear tart is the perfect addition to your holiday entertaining party table.

Holiday entertaining is well underway, and this can bring a lot of stress for some. Not only the act of having to keep the house clean, but shopping, preparing, and catering for guests. And I know for myself and a few of my single friends who have kids the act of budgeting alone can be stressful enough if you are catering an entire dinner party alone.

So, I have an idea for you, send a gift basket or box to the hostess before the dinner party. Something that will help her with the catering and leave her to feel like a small weight has been lifted. Hickory Farms have some wonderful (and delicious) options to choose from; everything from cheese, meats, and crackers, to chocolates and treats, and even gift baskets with wine.

The Hickory Farms Hickory Holiday Celebration basket would be the perfect hostess gift, and the perfect addition to any holiday party with a selection of sweet and savory treats, along with wine, and fresh fruit. And speaking of that fresh fruit, you could either provide the hostess with a recipe to turn those pears into a delicious ginger and pear tart, or make it yourself, take it to the party, and then give her the recipe to make her own at a later date.

Cut your ginger and pear tart into slices, and serve on small pieces of parchment paper cut into strips to make it easier for guests to eat if you are offering finger foods at your dinner party.

Tip: When arranging a holiday platter, add sprigs of rosemary to it. Not only with the greenery look pretty, but the smell is divine, and it will bring a festive feel to your dish. 

I also included a box of Tempting Toffee Bark to my holiday platter. I absolutely love toffee, and it was the perfect accompaniment to the chocolate covered nuts, mini cookies, and the ginger and pear tart.
