It feels like we’re running out of time to enjoy summer and here comes the fall. One of the best things happening every summer, farmers market! It is the only place I can get fresh fruits and vegetables directly from the farmer. It gives a connection between what we put to our table and where it came from, it feels good, really.

A big basket of peaches, nectarines, and plums is a perfect gift summer could give us. I enjoy them fresh and the rest turns to pies and tarts; grill them as a side dish for meat or add on to elevate any salad. You can poach them too for ice cream topping; as a sweetener to plain yogurt or porridge and a great topping for pancakes or filling to make a cake.

I hope you’re enjoying all of them as much as I do.

The peach tart is another easy dessert to make. There’s no precooking of the filling or pilling or prebaking. Use apricot jam to ease preparation and to give extra sweetness aside from the fruit itself......... showcases peaches at their best.

Using the Pâté sucrée in this recipe for 8” fluted tart pan, I used almost all the dough. I didn’t mind having a thicker crust, because the crust itself is really good.

HAPPY BAKING!:)
