PEACH TART

peach pie feb 20th

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
