Pear-blackberry pie (Pie de moras y peras)

I wasn't in the mood for Valentines but when I made this tart I 
cut some hearts to cover the tart and think was nice to Valentines.

BTW you can make some leaves to or use other cutter shape.
Happy Valentine's day!

Tarta de moras y peras

Aunque no andaba  muy en la onda de San Valentin decidi hacer esta tarta , lo unico que la  receta original  era con  forma de hojas y yo la hice con corazones.
Queda deliciosa. Es una mezcla de moras y peras.
Yo usé moras congeladas. Es dificil encontrar moras frescas. 
Tenia una caja de moras congeladas y fue muy bueno.
Siempre he pensado que las moras le dan un aroma especial a las tartas.
