A Delicious Tart That's, Well, Just Peachy!
As August comes to a close, the fruits of summer show no signs of slowing down — lots of peaches, blackberries, plums, and nectarines available for snacking and baking. This tart recipe starts with a shortbread-like crust and is then filled with peaches and blackberries. (You can substitute blueberries if you like.) The crumble top adds a third delicious dimension.

The original recipe suggested a fruity wine syrup topping, but I also love it as an upside-down cake with the fruit on the bottom. Serve it for dessert or at teatime with whipped cream, a dollop of…See More
