How I was able to fit this tart into this week's crazy end of the school year schedule is beyond me. But how could I not. It has everything I love in it: shortbread, smeared with lemon curd, topped with berries with a glaze of red currant jelly which I found surprisingly delicious.
 |
| The shortbread crust alone is out of this world. |
This tart was given a thumbs up by my son who will be graduating 8th grade tomorrow. My daughter who only had time to help roll out the dough, thought I did a fair job without her supervision. She is still in a bad mood because her softball play off game was cancelled again because of thunderstorms.
 |
| Lemon curd is one of my favorite topping but you could put any kind of spread that you like on it. |
Husband and nephew silently gobbled up their slice. I later caught my hubby snatching a second piece. The remainder of this tart was eaten for breakfast.
 |
| Delicious for tea time, dessert, or even breakfast. |
So can you go wrong with making this tart, it looks good and tastes even better. Make it!

I'm going to try this! I looked at the recipe; it looks easy to make it gluten-free with almond flour.
ReplyDeleteI have made this with the gluten free flour "cup 4 cup". But almond flour would be delicious and very true to a Mediterranean tart.
DeleteI love anything with fresh berries, this looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann, the red currant jelly glaze really brighten up the flavor of the berries.
DeleteI used the same lemon curd :-)
ReplyDeleteYour styling on this one is really lovely.
Thanks Cher I was forced to decorate it on my own. My daughter was out. I think I've learned from an eleven year old.
DeleteThat looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt was... eaten much too quickly.
Deletethis looks lovely. i skipped the red currant glaze since it was optional. but seems like i missed something :(
ReplyDeleteTry it next time. It really did give it a nice flavor that is hard to identify, makes it interesting, and it looks nice too.
DeleteBeautiful berry placement! This looks so, so good.
ReplyDeleteThank you... I can't get over how pretty it turned out because I have never been a decorator.
DeleteHow lovely. What a hard act to follow.
ReplyDeleteYes, I guess so... LOL.
DeleteBeautiful, my friend!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz... I just keep studying your pictures and styling. I'm starting to get it. Thanks for being my role model.
DeleteI'm with you=this dessert was one of my favorites! Beautiful job with your creation and congratulations on your son's graduation!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend ;-)
Thank you so much Patty, the dessert was a trumph and the graduation party was well done too.
DeleteThis was also one of my favorites! Beautiful! We’ve had a good month, haven’t we! Congrats on your son’t graduation! Have a great weekend, Diane!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, I'm so pooped now... all this cooking and festivities, but it was fun.
DeleteDelicious. I caught myself sneaking second pieces!
ReplyDeleteIt is a very tempting tart.
DeleteYou are right about this tart - it's just great, something special for everyone. When I made the shortbread galette, I was tempted to just eat it myself and serve my dinner guests ice cream topped with fresh fruit. I didn't but shortbread cookies are one of my top 5 favorites. I had the jelly but didn't make the glaze. So, I'll just have to make it again as I suspect you will. And, yes, I did have the remaining piece for breakfast. Good luck with wrapping up the school year - a busy time for you Moms.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary,
DeleteWe made it through the festivities of the end of the middle school for my son and my daughter's softball picnic. They had to settle for 3rd place in the league because they couldn't get their last game in... oh well. I wish I had a shortbread cookie right about now.
Diane, what a truly beautiful presentation of your Sablé Breton with all those wonderful berries - you did add the red currant jelly as a glaze, it looks like a very nice finish to this dessert. We often eat a piece of leftover tart for breakfast as well and who would not love a piece of this with a cup of morning tea or coffee - good luck with wrapping up the school year, we still have another four weeks to go.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Sunday!
Oh, my 4 more weeks... I hope your weather isn't as beautiful as ours. The kids got out just as the weather got beautiful. Soon it will be muggy and hot. Have to turn the oven on one more time and make this dessert again.
DeleteGosh yours is just lovely ! And I am suitably impressed that you knocked this out with everything on your very busy plate this week - I failed on that account but enjoyed every morsel of Nana's amazing results. Which also included a helping for breakfast too :) Yes, I will be revisiting this one for sure. Congrats on the 8th grade graduation !
ReplyDeleteThanks my son is very excited to start high school. Hopefully he will apply himself with a little more effort than he did in middle school. I did cheap by using jar lemon curd but I think if you use a quality product no will know or mind.
DeleteI love the arrangement of your berries. Like you, I loved everything about this tart. I know you don't love baking, but it looks like you did a great job on the crust. Yay! Congratulations to your son on his graduation. High school, here he comes!
ReplyDeleteI'm gaining some confidence baking. Tarts, quick breads... are not too stressful. Thank you my son is very excited about high school.
DeleteThis was almost too good to be so tasty. Love the topping design.
ReplyDeleteLOL part of me didn't want to cut the tart it looked so pretty.
DeleteThis is gorgeous! I'm pinning it to my "too pretty to eat" board. lol
ReplyDeleteYou should stop by and link up to my summer recipe round up! http://lifelovelibrarianship.com/summer-recipe-round-up/
~Visiting from Totally Tasty Tuesdays~
Thank you Elizabeth,,, but I do hope you eat it. It is super delicious.
DeleteHi, this looks so good and patriotic! I saw it on close to home.
ReplyDeleteJulie from julieslifestyle.blogspot.com
It would be perfect for a 4th of July picnic and it does well in heat, no frosting to melt.
Deleteoooh la la, Diane! C'est magnifique! Merci beaucoup
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole, I thought you might like this tart.
DeleteOh Diane, this is beautiful! What a lovely dessert and it sounds so delicious. I like that you used lemon curd. Thank you for sharing your Sable Breton Galette with the Hearth and Soul hop.
ReplyDeleteThank you April. This would be nice for tea with your beautiful tea cup collection.
DeleteAbsolutely delicious and perfect for summer!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I hope you get a chance to try it out.
DeleteLemon curd is a personal fave, this looks too good to resist!
ReplyDeleteIf you love lemon curd this dessert will be heaven for you.
DeleteI call this a wow dessert.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It looks really impressive, but it is not hard to make.
Deletewhat a pretty presentation
