Peach And Thyme Filo Tarte Tatin.
Thirdly, I am sharing a recipe created by Nicola Millbank. (Using South African peaches, available in UK supermarkets until the end of April).
The flavour and quality of peaches from South Africa are exceptional due to the country’s sunshine, ideal climate and near-perfect growing conditions.
South African fruit is also an ethical choice because of its role in developing the country in the last 20 years. South African Peach And Thyme Filo Tarte Tatin. So tasty.
Nectarine Tarte Tatin:
Last but not least, Nectarine Tarte Tatin. This upside-down tart is traditionally made with apples, although other fruits such as pears, plums, nectarines, or peaches can also be used.
It’s simple to make, but you’ll need bravery to let the nectarines caramelise, which means cooking them gently for long enough for their juices to combine with the butter and sugar.
To turn the tart over, you’ll need a little bravery. A 20cm (8 inch) frying pan with an ovenproof handle is required. Nectarine Tarte Tatin. Oh so yummy, indeed.
