Peach Tart

Fresh Peach Tart

It’s late July in Ontario.  And that means it is officially peach season!

Living in Niagara means we get to enjoy peaches literally picked fresh from the trees.  Not to mention the annual Peach Festival which takes over the main street of Niagara On The Lake.

With the peaches so fresh and plentiful I whipped up a peach tart yesterday.  Oh. My. Goodness.  Pure delicious-ness!

It is so easy to make with either fresh, canned or frozen (thawed) peaches.  The addition of almond cream just added a whole new layer of flavour.

While using frozen or canned peaches are fine, there is just something about peeling a fresh peach, the juices running down your hands, and the scent  enticing you to take a bite.

One bite of this tart makes using fresh peaches worth the extra effort!

I could have eaten the entire peach tart myself, but thought it would be rude not to share.

Warm out of the oven with ice cream.  Need I say more?!

Somehow I managed to have one little piece leftover.  It has my name written all over it!

Until next time….

Enjoy!

    What a luscious looking tart! Everything about peaches just screams, “Summer!” to me. Your lovely tart would be the perfect ending to a bbq or picnic meal!

    I have been known to use it with chocolate in croissants! (Will be sharing this recipe soon 😉 ) Makes a tasty combo! I also use it in all kinds of baked fruit tarts, mini and full size. The recipe I have makes about 2 cups, so there is always enough to make a few things!
