I was meeting some friends for an outdoor concert and wanted to take a fresh summery dessert for us to share for our picnic. With peaches in season in Michigan, this was probably the perfect recipe that I could have found and we all enjoyed it immensely. I found the recipe using my Epicurious app on my iPad, but you can access it online also. How can you go wrong with fresh peaches tossed in sugar and lemon zest, raw sliced almonds for a little crunch and a honey glaze. It was still warm when we ate it at the picnic and was topped with the rich, sweet mascarpone cream.
The peaches were so pretty. I just love the orangey/red fuzzy peaches and they smell so fresh even before they're cut open. But when you pit them, the flesh of the fruit is just as pretty as the outside.
The tart pastry was a perfectly pliable and smooth pastry with the addition of a little powdered sugar for sweetness. The edges were folded over to smooth it out and it made the side of the tart nice and thick.
I grabbed a few photos at home before I went to the concert for our picnic. I don't have any photos of the tart cut and topped with mascarpone cream. But trust me, it was decadent. And, we all had smiles on our faces....from the tart, the good music and great friends.
