Fruits of Fancy



Summer means all things fresh and alive and green... and blue and red and peach! I've been making a lot of fruity treats lately, and even though Vermont isn't particularly well-fruited, we've had plenty of local blueberries. Strawberry season was short but delicious, and from out-of-state came Amish peaches so sweetly saturated that I thought about sticking a straw in one! The photo above is of tartlets with lemon curd and blueberries, and below are their bigger siblings, filled with almond frangipane.
