Sweet paste melt

Another disaster. This sweet paste was meant for a pear tart. I made the pears gently cooked in Sauternes, and the creme patissiere, and was going to assemble it all in the pastry case. Nope. The pastry case decided to melt down the sides of the tin instead and look like a horror film mask. Rubbish.
It went in the bin.
I took a day to consider my options with the pears and creme patissiere.
