You'd like this tart because you like lemon bars. I think the lemon curd in this is even more sour than my usual lemon tarts, but it might just be the lemons I had this time.

And duh, of COURSE I made the crust. The crust is as important as the filling, you know.

you made THAT??! That looks scrumptious!! now I want to make it! wait. I just read your comment, but you didn't make the crust part? I figured since we always keep those Marie Callendar pie plates, I could make the crust. Lily needs to look up pie crust recipe.

That is completely and utterly awesome.

Oh, the slices are from a very small fresh orange. I sliced it very thinly and let it sit in some sugar before putting it on the tart. I don't mind eating the skin when it's been sort of candied this way.

Long story...I really wanted to make the tart because it was the first thing in SSL that jumped out at me.

Then, after buying a tart from Cafe Madeleine (which I loved precisel because it didn't have a concentric fruit pattern) for an office party , I was really eager to see if I could make something equally pretty. I think, for a special occassion where I would go buy a bigger variety of fruit, I could totally make a party-worthy tart.

A bout of cooking woes hit after I made the crust, so it's been sitting in my fridge for days and I finally forced myself to go for it. It's a nice welcmoe back to cooking!

The tart lemon curd goes really well with this selection of tangy fruits. I think I would stick with slightly sour fruits and berries for this, rather than very sweet fruits like pears or mangos.

Very nice...I like your design more than concentric circles, which always seem so contrived to me.
Are those candied orange pieces, or just raw ones?
What was the occasion for such a pretty dessert?
As usual, the blog is a nice diversion from reality.

gorgeous! it sort of looks like a fruit swirl that changes fruit. adding some smaller berries next time might be good too since they are starting to go on sale.
