Peach tart and competitions

Me proudly presenting

my first prize

won in England

for baking a cake!

I'm not really into contests,

competitions or games.

But in two weeks,

there will be a cake/tart/pie contest

in our street!

We are all practicing.

I'm ashamed to say,

I would love to win this contest.

Isn't that hilariously childish?

I'm already thinking of strategies,

recipes and methods.

It will not be easy,

we all love to bake around here.

And there are lots of foodies in our little street.

I wouldn't stand any change if this was a cooking contest,

but baking......

Yesterday we tasted the lime coconut cake next door,

today we will taste my peach pine kernel tart.

I combined several recipes,

hopefully it will taste good.

I made a plain crust dough,

added a hint of vanilla

and some toasted pine kernels.

I blind baked the crust for 12 minutes.

I bought some firm, but ripe peaches

sliced them up and covered them in melted butter(20 g),

a table spoon of fine caster sugar

and a table spoon of honey

I placed them carefully in the hot crust,

and baked till golden.

I finished with a glaze,

some peach jam with a tablespoon of water,

heated up in a saucepan.

We will taste it later,

when I bought some cream.

This tart screams for some added white stuff.

Happy Sunday everyone!
