Beautiful tart! Right now I'm watching them eat. The tart looks delicious! I'm going to give that recipe a try. I love blueberry season. Congratulations on 39 weeks! That can't be easy in the southern heat.
Monday, August 4, Blueberry tarts and baby giraffes at 38 weeks. You might remember that before Mikus was born I was taking bets on which would arrive first: our new refrigerator or the baby. Then of course there was the tie between my mother landing in Clermont-Ferrand and Mikus making his debut into the world.
The similarities end there; I did not endure a month gestation, nor will I be live-streaming the birth. Once again you can check in on a live-stream of the mother, with one camera monitoring the paddock and one inside the barn. Fun facts: giraffes are born hooves-first, they weight between pounds, they stand 6-feet tall at birth and usually take their first steps within the hour.
Along with the last weeks of pregnancy come the last weeks of blueberry season here in the Upstate. Since none of the berries from our bushes have made it past the hungry little hands playing in the backyard I picked up a gallon at Blueberry Hill while we were up in the Paris Mountain SP area last week.
They mostly get consumed by the handful, or tossed over cereal, but some did make it to a batch of blueberry muffins and most recently, into this blueberry tart. Ingredients for crust: 1 cup flour I use unbleached. Ingredients for filling: 2 tablespoons flour. Mix 1 cup flour, salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar, combine with butter and then incorporate the vinegar. Combine the rest of the sugar, flour and cinnamon, then add 3 cups blueberries.
