PEACH TART
Method
- To make the pastry – put the flour and sugar in a food processor, add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs
- Add the milk and pulse until the mixture just holds together
- If too dry add a drop or two more of milk
- Remove from the food processor and bring together on your work surface
- Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for at least 20 -30 minutes
- (Pastry can be made by hand
- ) Preheat the oven 190C Topping Slice the peaches into even sized wedges and place into suitable sized bowl, add the brown sugar and toss together
- Set aside
- Remove pastry from the fridge and roll out on sheet of lightly floured baking paper to form a 30-35 cm diameter round
- Transfer the pastry onto a baking tray
- Spoon the marmalade in a circle allowing a 5 cm edge
- Now arrange the peaches evenly over the marmalade
- You can either do this rustically or arrange them in a neat overlapping circle
- Gently fold over the extra pastry around the edges of the tart and pinch them to make sure the juices from the fruit don’t escape during cooking
- Scatter some sugar over the pastry
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the fruit is oozing with juices
- Cool slightly before eating
