Honey and Ginger Nectarine Tart

July 28, 2010 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 15 Comments

Ginger and Honey Nectarine Tarts ~  Slice up some of summer’s finest stone fruit for a refreshing nectarine tart.

Nectarine Tart

Honey and Ginger Nectarine Tart

White nectarines are one of the many fruits that I look forward to when the sun starts to feel too close and the evenings get a little too wonky because I can’t cool off.

Somehow having cold fruit always provides a momentary respite from the humidity, the heat and my clothes sticking to me like some Rhino Lining.

Sweet and soft in flesh,  you best have a paper towel nearby or you may just end up looking like those Carls Jr. commercials, with the drippy food all over you face.

Which by the way, might not annoy me so much, if I could look as sexed up as that brunette while eating a cow patty. But before I veer off into a diatribe about contrivances, I’ll re-focus . . .  back to the dessert.

With the hottest month for most of us coming, I thought I would share one of my favorite ways to enjoy some nectarines in this easy to make fruit tart.

You’ll love this. It’s refreshing and delish.

A few notes:

  • As always, buy organic. It makes a huge difference in taste.
  • You can make the tart shells two days ahead of time.
  • Of course any fruit or fruit combination will do-your palate, your preference! Another variation I love is figs and apricots.
  • To scale this down to tartlet bites, use a mini muffin pan to make your shells and dice your fruit to fill them.

Vanilla Pastry Cream:
3/4cup of whole milk
1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoon sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolks
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoon vanilla

Filling:
5 Palm size nectarines
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon  lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoon grated ginger
1/8 cardamom

INSTRUCTIONS:

Vanilla Pastry Cream:
1. Dissolve cornstarch in ¼ cup of milk.
2. Combine the remaining milk with sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and remove from heat and transfer mixture to a new sauce pot. The new unheated sauce pot will help control the heat.
3. Beat whole egg and yolks into corn mixture.
4. Pour 1/3 of boiling milk into egg mixture, making sure to whisk constantly so the eggs do not curdle.
5. Return remaining milk to boil. Pour hot egg mixture in a stream and continue whisking.
6. Whisk mixture until the cream thickens and comes to a boil.
7. Remove from heat and beat in butter and vanilla.
8. Refrigerate the cream overnight or for at least six hours.

Filling:
1. Remove stone and thinly slice nectarines. Set aside.
2. Place honey and apricot in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
3. Add lemon juice and ginger, let steep for 5 minutes.
4. Add cardamom and whisk to incorporate.
5. Toss sliced nectarines in glaze. Use a mesh strainer to remove excess glaze off of fruit.

Assembly:
1. Fill tart shell with pastry cream. Arrange fruit to preference.

    That ginger makes a wonderful difference. Cardamom is a new flavor for me, but I could see how it would match with the vanilla cream.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
