There&#8217;s a gentle roar that accompanies the crowded space, people&#8217;s voices as they wander through the aisles, a harmonica sounds from one corner, bagpipes on the next. In the center of the market an acapella group sings between the rows of stalls as shoppers sit and break from collecting their groceries. <\/p>\n<p>Every stall illustrates what the weather has been telling us for the past two weeks. Tomatoes and courgettes are piled high alongside apples and winter squash. A pumpkin and a watermelon are sold side by side. I sigh a little thinking of how each week brings us closer to the end of market season. The produce that grows well in the summer heat will start thinning, becoming harder and harder to find as we wander through the market. The vendors tables currently sagging under the weight of the harvest will become smatterings of produce again as they were in spring, then disappearing altogether.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17393\" src=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pear-fig-honey-goat-cheese-tarts-rosemary-drizzle2.jpg\" alt=\"Pear and Fig Tarts with Goat Cheese and Honey recipe | FoodforMyFamily.com\" height=\"938\" width=\"625\"> &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>At home, our meals have taken on this same quality. We&#8217;re alternating between BLTs and comforting soups, fresh salads and roasted root vegetables as the nights grow cooler and turning the oven on in the evening sounds comforting again. <\/p>\n<p>The final summer figs and herbs meet the first pears of the autumn harvest here. Tangy goat cheese provides a cheesecake-like base to these pastries, which can be as easily consumed for breakfast as they can for a post-dinner dessert. <\/p>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Pear and Fig Tarts with Goat Cheese and Honey\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Shaina Olmanson\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-02-04\",\"recipeYield\":10,\"image\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/pear-fig-honey-goat-cheese-tarts-rosemary-45-480x480.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/pear-fig-honey-goat-cheese-tarts-rosemary-45-480x360.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/pear-fig-honey-goat-cheese-tarts-rosemary-45.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/pear-fig-honey-goat-cheese-tarts-rosemary-45-480x270.jpg\"],\"recipeCategory\":\"Dessert, Breakfast\",\"prepTime\":\"PT20M\",\"cookTime\":\"PT25M\",\"performTime\":\"PT25M\",\"totalTime\":\"PT45M\",\"recipeIngredient\":[\"1 cup plain goat cheese, softened to room temperature\",\"1 egg\",\"3 tablespoons honey\",\"1\\\/2 teaspoon vanilla\",\"2 sheets puff pastry dough\",\"5 thinly sliced pears or a handful of fresh figs\",\"1 tablespoon of honey for topping\",\"1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary\"],\"recipeInstructions\":[{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"Preheat oven to 425\\u00baF.
