This week’s recipe was chosen by Marie at A Year in Oak Cottage. I was thrilled this was a Strawberry recipe as my husband and I had plans to go Strawberry picking. I couldn’t wait to turn our amazingly sweet and juicy strawberries into this rustic tart.
Fruit tarts are among my favorite desserts and this one was perfect with it’s cookie-like crust. The dough is a sweet tart dough with a great crumbly texture. The recipe calls for you to fill the tart with Strawberry jam and then pile in as many berries as will fit. I used Strawberry-Rhubarb Preserves that I got at the farm stand where we did our picking. The Rhubarb added a wonderful tart dimension to compliment the super sweet freshly picking strawberries.
I cut the tart first and then layered on the preserves and topped with as many strawberries as I could fit! The traditional La Palette tart is served with Crème fraîche and topped with cracked black pepper.
I’ll definitely be keeping this sweet tart dough handy so that I can make these wonderful tarts with a variety of fruits and flavors throughout the summer.
