Strawberry-rhubarb tart - A Pic a Day in May #6

On Saturday morning I went to the outdoor market in Saint-Aignan for some asparagus and strawberries. We are in the middle of our local white asparagus season and they are good! But the local strawberries are also good and I cannot help myself when it comes to strawberries.

I love strawberries and I love rhubarb. Our local produce is fantastic. Another reason why I love living here.

I picked a whole bunch more rhubarb from our garden and made a pie. This time I cooked the rhubarb pie before I added the strawberries (last time I cooked the berries into the pie). They went on fresh and were glazed with some rhubarb jam that we made last year. I also froze a bag full of rhubarb for later. And there is still more coming out of the garden. Yum.

A note: Ken and I did not plan to post similar photos today. Sometimes it just works out that way!

  5. That pie is a work of art, but that would not have stopped me from having a slice or three.

  8. I honestly don't know if I've ever had rhubarb in any form. Maybe I should find some and try it. Yes?

  9. Yes, Starman, you should try rhubarb and when it is with strawberries (and sugar, of course) it is devine!

    Two photos of this delight is just killing me...... why aren't these computers sending that taste or smell along with these fabulous dishes you guys create???

  10. tim, sorry, we didn't eat it with cream this time!

    anne marie, if only!

    jean, it was good...

    mitch, I nearly posted the same "top" view, but am glad I went with the "side" view instead.

    judy, it was darned tasty.

    virginiac, we still have one slice left.

    anne, cooking (and eating) are like a hobby. It's fun!

    gaynor, it was!

    starman, it's very tart so it needs sugar. I don't think it grows in the south...

    mary, I'm sure they're working on that somewhere in the world.
