French Cherry Tart

"I saw this on Rick Stein's journey around France. It wasn't called French Cherry Tart (I didn't quite catch the name... and would be grateful if anyone out there could supply it), but it looked absolutely delicious and I am definitely going to give it a try."

  1. I am not rating this recipe, but instead pointing out that the oven temperature appears to be off, and the butter is missing from the ingredient list. I have sent a message to the posting chef, but have not received any response. A Google search located the original recipe at http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/538559. I hope that this helps anyone who is interested.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Hertford in England with my husband, son and dog. I love cooking, and love reading recipie books planning meals for my friends. However, I spend so long reading the books, I tend to be put off trying the recipies myself. I find recipezaar a brilliant resource, and try a new recipie every weekend. My first being spinach and ricotta canelloni which is absolutely delicious.
