Finally, a solution for having too much fruit: eat it in pie form. My mom goes to the local farmer’s market every weekend (rain or shine), and whenever I come home to visit, she exclaims, “These [insert fruit or vegetable here] looked gorgeous, so I bought two cases! Here, take one.” – and shoves it towards me. I’m more than overjoyed at the sight of a box of beautiful, locally grown produce, but after a week of my bunny and I munching on it, the rest ends up forgotten in the produce drawer, or even worse, the garbage.
But now, lo and behold – the magic of making a fruit tart. It’s just 5 ingredients (which don’t include lard, or that strange goopy stuff found in American pies – what IS that?), involves very little work, and best of all, no more sugar rush from attempting to finish the rest of my fruit in a single day. It came out so well, I can’t wait to make a pear tart, peach tart, raspberry tart…
