How To Make This Peach Tart

The crust for this tart starts with a sweet pastry dough. The dough and the baked crust can both be made in advance of making the tart.

All-purpose flour, sugar and fine sea salt are pulsed in a food processor to combine. Cold, cubed unsalted butter is added to the flour mix and pulsed long enough for the mixture to resemble coarse sand. One egg and a bit of vanilla are added to the mix and pulsed just long enough for the dough to begin to come together.

The dough is formed into a ball, flattened into a thin disc, wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for an hour, or up to 3 days.

The cold dough is rolled into a large circle, placed inside a 9-inch removable bottom tart pan, and pressed into the sides and bottom of the pan. The pan is wrapped in plastic and chilled for 30 minutes.

The oven is preheated to 350 degrees F. A piece of parchment is placed over the chilled dough and filled with paper weights.

The crust is baked for 15 minutes, the parchment containing the weights is carefully removed and the tart crust is baked an additional 5 minutes. The crust is cooled completely before continuing.

Fresh homemade cherry jam or store bought cherry jam, jelly, or preserves are spread on the bottom of cooled sweet pastry crust.

The jam is topped with fresh white peach slices. I started from the outside and worked my way toward the center, overlapping the slices as I went. Bing cherries are pitted, halved, and sliced into 6 pieces per whole cherry. The cherry slices are laid on top of the white peach slices.

The tart is baked in a hot oven until the fresh fruit is cooked through and soft, and the cherry jam is bubbling.

The tart is amazing served slightly warm with a nice dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
