Rustic Peach Tart

Rustic Peach Tart

1 Pillsbury pie crust or your own recipe

5 peaches, peeled & sliced thin

1 egg

3 tbls honey

1/4 c peach jam -- any light color jam will do (apricot, apple, etc) 

1 tbls sugar

This one is easy as pie!  Simply unroll and place pie shell on your baking pan.  Next, crack egg and divide the yolk from the white.  (Just pass the egg back and forth between the shells, all the white will fall into your bowl beneath and you will be left with the yolk in your shell. You could always use a fancy divider, but who really needs it when the shell can do it for you).  With a pastry brush, brush entire pie crust lightly with egg WHITE.  Then, design all sliced peaches onto crust, leaving a 1 inch border without any fruit.  Now, mix together the honey and the jam and heat slightly in microwave.  Using your pastry brush, sweep all of the fruit with this mixture.  Finally, fold edges of pastry up onto the fruit, as pictured above.  To finish, whip egg YOLK and very lightly brush crust edges (this will give a golden brown look).  Almost done, just sprinkle the remaining sugar on the crust edges only!

Bake at 350 for a little less than the amount of time specified for your particular crust recipe, as a filled pie.  Approximately 30-40 minutes.  Half way through cooking, cover edges of crust with strips of foil to keep from over browning.  (For an easier method, you can put your foil underneath the tart while backing.  Then, simply roll in onto the crust after you've reached your desired color.)

You can do this with any combination of fruit you like, however berries tend to really loose their liquid, so beware!  I enjoy using Smuckers simply fruit with no added sugar for my jelly.  To be honest, Smuckers Simply Fruit Apricot is what I have nearly every breakfast... it is wonderful!

Now, enjoy!  Here's my favorite tip!  Add vanilla ice cream --- sprinkled with cinnamon!

You can also try RASPBERRY!!!  Just substitute the peaches for raspberries with raspberry jelly.  Smuckers has a wonderful reduced sugar red raspberry that is sooooo good!
