Toss the sliced pears into the mixture as well and then rustically (no fancy pattern needed) arrange the pears and berries into the tart shell. Top with an even layer of turbinado sugar. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown on edges. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 2 days.
