STRAWBERRY TART
![]()
This little gems-of-a-tart was made at the end of the locally grown strawberry season. The great thing about strawberries is that good strawberries can be found almost all year round!
This recipe can also be tweaked to fit any seasonal fruit. Try it with lemon curd and blueberries, peaches and mascopone cream, rasberries and raspberry glaze or a tasty mix of fresh fruit!

These desserts have that WOW factor that will leave a memorable impression!
I enjoy making and serving almost anything that is an individual serving. It's like saying, "Look, I made this just for you!"

ReplyDeleteI've never thought I could make a tarte - but I've already made Pate Brisee, so this is actually really doable! Plus we have a ton of strawberries in our garden. Thanks for the great idea. ~ Courtney
ReplyDeleteI think with all the blue in my house I would pick the indigo Bloom.
ReplyDeleteI did visit the Mikasa site and I'm following them on FB.
ReplyDeleteI would like to have the Stone Ridge Black set.
You can't beat the sweetness of summer strawberries, and your tarts looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering, Yvonne! There's one thing I just love and that's pie crust! This looks divine! Strawberries, cream and crust =)
ReplyDeletePerfection!
I have to tell you that I couldn't wait to make those rose napkins! I made six of them to decorate a table at school for a retirement luncheon! Everyone raved about them and I told them I discovered them at "Stone Gable."
The theme colors were red/white and silver. These decorated the dessert table which I set with a white tablecloth over a larger red one. The red rose napkins made a semi-circle around the desserts! Soooo pretty! THANK YOU SO MUCH for the idea!
Bless you*
♥ Maria
Just gorgeous! Love the lemon curd and blueberry idea!
ReplyDeletePS-forgot to mention that I LOVE the rose napkin fold in your last post:@)

I love visiting here. That tart just jumps off the page, unfortunately not into my mouth, though! I have the giveaway on my sidebar. xo,
ReplyDeleteI always think tarts are so special and your strawberry ones are beautiful and delicious looking. I think I'll use a pre-made crust though as my luck with making pie crusts is iffy at best. I'm a fair cook but I didn't inherit the pie crust making gene.
ReplyDelete:(
Have a great weekend,
Babs
Great tarts! I love to make them and eat them too! Thanks for this recipe, step by step and so yummy looking!! I love pies and so does my hubby, he even loves the chicken pie! I will try this one too. Thanks for hosting the give away...hope I win it! I don't know how to put it in my side bar, but my daughter will, so hold on a little, I'm not compu savvy, you know. Love, FABBY
ReplyDeleteOh my, Yvonne, the tarts looks heavenly! Your pictures are a delight for the senses!!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all the strawberry tart looks wonderful! I enjoy baking, so I'll have to make this soon. The Mikasa give away is so generous! If I had to pick a pattern, I think the Italian Countryside is beautiful. Although the English Countryside is pretty too!
