Lime And Strawberry Tart
There is nothing I love more than a fruit tart. They look beautiful, they taste amazing and I feel like I am channeling my inner pastry chef when it is made and in front of me. This recipe would make stunning individual tartlets, if you have the tins.
It does use the amazing Strawberry Vanilla Jam that everyone loves to love and of course my beloved Heilala vanilla. Limes courtesy of my sisters amazing tree, you could use lemons, but try lime first!
Happy Baking but more importantly, happy eating!
