Getting the fine print out of the way first: The June Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and Annemarie of Ambrosia and Nectar. They chose a Traditional (UK) Bakewell Tart… er… pudding that was inspired by a rich baking history dating back to the 1800’s in England.
I was excited about this challenge, something new but nothing too taxing. Of course that was before I realized that today with the 27th. The thing about my life in limbo – between school and work – is that I usually only know if it’s a weekday or a weekend, not what the date is.
Whipped up the tart this evening, made some changes, used a pie pan because I don’t have a tart pan. I have the feeling I’m the only one. I also did a split in the jams. I used 1/2 raspberry pomegrante and, being the rebel I am, didn’t strain it, and 1/2 peach apricot. And I omitted the extra almonds on top, I guess I have a textural aversion there. Otherwise I followed the recipe, adding in the almond extract.
Can’t wait to see what is next month’s challenge…
I love the double jam in your tart. One side gets one flavor, the other, another, not to mention the residual ‘leak over’ from the heat, so you get a bit of both. Very clever, and it looks lovely! BTW, love the jam combos of raspberry-pomegranate and peach apricot!
Great job, and what a neat idea using 2 different jams, wish I would have thought of that.
