Then a few days later I went to a farmer’s market and found red currants. I’ve chosen blueberries, raspberries and blackberries the first time I made this tart. This means we get to experience natures diversity and lots of desserts for me! Thankfully, due to the resurgence of farmer’s markets and people’s general interest in gardening my little summer heroes are popping up all over the place. In my world there were so much more! What about gooseberries, wild strawberries. It’s a shame that most of the berries in our stores are strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, and perhaps blackberries if really lucky. There are so many berries in the world, each with something special to bring. We would get lost in the garden picking and eating copious amounts of fruits and berries. The berries are the stars, so choose the most seasonal and fresh berries you can get your hands on! Choosing berriesĪs every Russian child that grew up in the city I loved going away to a “dacha” on weekends. This tart makes the most of summer berries, giving them the chance to shine on top of a light tart. The presence of berry desserts signals holiday for me more than anything else.
Try out my Summer Peach Cake with Red Berries!īerries are quite possibly THE thing I love the most about summer. There are few things better than baking with seasonal summer berries. Buttery tart, broken meringue and whipped cream topped with berries.
