Plated + Served: Black and Red Raspberry Tart

July12

Black raspberries are truly the precious gems of the summer.

Their harvesting season is limited to about three weeks during the year and, poor things, once they’re picked, they are so fragile, they don’t hang around too long.

But if you move lickety-split quickly, you can make a delicious tart using one of summer’s more fleeting berries. The pastry cream and sweet ripe red raspberries in this dish beautifully balance the subtle tartness of the black raspberries.

Once again, I used my Vodka Crust recipe. Yes, it takes a little longer to make the dough from scratch, but the black raspberries took 49 weeks to get here… I think they deserve a little extra attention!
