A colleague of my hubby is undergoing treatment for cancer. Her co-workers have made a schedule for people to make meals for them over the course of her treatment. Our turn was for yesterday. Along with some pulled pork for sandwiches, homemade potato salad and fresh fruit salad, I made the Free-Form Peach Tart with a pistachio layer from issue no. 16. It's featured on the cover of that issue. My daughter has made it several times and raves about it. So, I made two - one for the dinner gift and one to keep for us. It is a great recipe. I was going to bring up its review from the forum and did a search on "peach tart" and it came up empty. If one of the Members Plus folks could find it and post the recipe, that would be great. It's a little long.
I was able to find some fresh California peaches with really good flavor at our store here. I couldn't find already shelled pistachios, and admit I got a little weary of shelling two cups of pistachios! Also, had to keep slapping hubby's hand trying to snack on them rather than shelling his own! I used natural sugar on the egg wash, which added some sparkle. It is a nice fruit dessert alternative to pie. And, the recipient was really impressed and happy to receive it.
