The add-on to Spittoon - Recipes, Photographs and Travel
In-spite of my general disappointment (illustration wise) of Marcus Wareing’s One Perfect Ingredient I thought I would attempt the Pecan Tart recipe from page 190. Hard to believe that these haven’t been attempted before in the Barrow kitchen as they combine those favourite things – nuts, golden syrup and pastry. They were deliciously fine with a little ice-cream.
One thing I learnt – ensure the sugar is fully dissolved otherwise a crunchy texture results when you reach the bottom of the pan. Just apply a little more patience Mr Barrow!
Everyone has their own favourite pastry recipe or ready-made pastry so little need to repeat the recipe from the book.
Delicious little pecan nut tarts. Serve with plenty of cream.
Ingredients
- 100g Golden Syrup
- 150g Demerara sugar
- 75g unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp clear honey
- 3 tbsp dark rum
- pinch of salt
- 3 eggs
- 150g pecan nuts
Instructions
- Gently heat the syrup, butter, honey, rum and salt and dissolve the sugar in it. Allow to cool a little then whisk in the eggs and nuts. With the oven at 160F/180C/G4 fill the pastry cases with the nut mix and bake for 12-15 minutes until set.

That looks oh so good, and better than the image in the book too!
These fancy pancy chefs have a lot to learn from us food bloggers and photos hey Andy?!…hehe
I’m the same with recipe books, being more “visually stimulated” – I like to look at the pictures for inspiration and rarely follow any recipes. So no pictures/bad pictures = no purchase! Haven’t seen Wareing’s ‘OPI’ – so will look out for it.
Thanks KC!
The recipes in the book have received plenty of good comments from several bloggers and I admit those I’ve tried (the simpler ones) have turned out fine; like this one. But I still maintain the pics are pants.
Mmmmmm. Too fabulous. I adore pecan tarts and am always surprised at how easy they are to make. This looks particularly fine and I look forward to being offered one next time I arrive at Chez Barrow
