roast nectarine, thyme and honey cream tart

This prep ahead tart is a bit of a cheat, pastry wise but looks very fancy.

If you come to my house for dinner over the summer the chances are you’ll get this roast nectarine, thyme and honey cream tart for dessert. It is so easy to make and a joy to eat. I also make it with plums, apricots, rhubarb or peaches depending on what I can buy at the time.

Living in California meant we were spoiled with fruit. The area we lived in was once the biggest fruit growing part of America. So old fruit trees were dotted around the streets. They didn’t belong to anyone and no one else seemed to get excited by them. So we went out every morning and collected the juiciest apricots and peaches in our jim jams – one of the benefits of being awake early on with small children.
