I remembered seeing a generic fruit tart recipe in Rachel Allen's Home Cooking and as I'm not that great with pies I thought I'd take her advice. Results were good but it was a bit weirdy at the time!
 |
| Cream together butter and sugar |
 |
| Add an egg |
 |
| Beat another egg separately and then mix half in. At this point I stopped using the recommended dough hook.. I mean.. Dough hook? |
 |
| Sift and stir in flour, knead briefly and spilt into two discs. Fridge for an hour. |
 |
| Mix strawberries and nectarines with cornflour and caster sugar |
 |
| Ignore cleaning up and go and investigate large pile of boxes that lovely postie just delivered |
 |
| Pop to chippy to get lunch as it just feels like that sort of day |
 |
| Roll out pastry (HA HA HA HA HA HA... good luck) and line pie plate |
 |
| Dollop on fruit mix |
 |
| Cover pie with pastry, seal and glaze with the other half of that egg from earlier. Stick in oven. |
 |
| Play with new toy for a while |
 |
| Admire pie |
 |
| Eat Pie |
Ooooo this pie sounds scrumptious! Can't beat packages from the postie, especially the Amazon kind :)

I must admit, strawberry and nectarine sounds a little odd, but, oh my - it looks glorious!
ReplyDeleteI was unconvinced till I tasted it but WOW. I guess it's not so far removed from peach and raspberry Peach Melba type combo. I'd never normally cook strawberries in a pie either..
