I love this tart because it’s rustic and elegant all at the same time. Strikingly pretty with it’s deep purple and orange filling and it’s golden brown, sugar-flecked frame. Lovely served warm at a dinner party with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, this tart will act as both dessert and scented candle to perfume the room. And yet it’s just as perfect to eat hovered over the sink, in your pajamas, right before tucking into bed. The latter is my preferred serving suggestion, although both are nice in their own way.
