I really wanted to go strawberry picking this year but never quite made it. I was a little sad, but this didn't stop me from fulfilling my strawberry based baking needs. I kept seeing these rustic fruit tarts everywhere and really wanted to try my hands at one! Very simple I must say, although I had a little problem with the ingredients... aka the sweet short crust pastry... apparently I wasn't throughly following the instructions or maybe it was because I didn't read the recipe before hand... the flour was in pounds! Pounds?? My scale didn't have a pounds button?? Don't worry, I know what pounds are... lets just say I had a little trouble converting it into cups! But never-less these were still pretty tasty and I do like how they look!I suggest you use or find you're own sweet short-cut pastry I wont leave you with the confusing one I looked after.
But the strawberry middle is easy enough:
2 pints strawberries
1 cup sugar
Mix up and add for the filling and wrap crust up around the sides.
Bake for 15-20 min (depending on size of tart) in a 350 D oven.

Hi Ash, There is something about the sweetness of a strawberry that make you what more!! Very pretty, thanks for sharing :)
I've always thought that these rustic tarts look gorgeous and your strawberry ones certainly look delicious :D Ahh I'm going to miss strawberries until next year.
I love these types of rustic tarts...so much simpler to make than fiddling with a tart mold and lovely to look at as well!

I love rustic tarts. Yours looks absolutely beautiful. It's sad that strawberry season has passed!
Those rustic tarts are wonderfully perfect. They look freshly picked up from a countrified market stand.
Very nicely styled, beautifully shot photos.
