almond-peach-tart-recipe“Mom, come try these peaches! They are so good,” says my 11 year old daughter Mimi, referring to the bite sized samples luring the passersby of a vendor at our local farmers’ market. A small container sectioned in four quadrants contained a variety of stone fruit cut into toothpick ready portions for tasting. Mimi wasted no time in trying each and every one. Of the two varieties of peaches being offered yesterday, I was told by the friendly guy behind the table one was very sweet and one wasn’t as much. The glory of summer can be found in one bite of a perfect ripe peach sweetened by the sun picked at its peak.

Several pounds of purchased peaches later, we eat a few right away with no regard to the juices dripping from our chins knowing moments like this will soon be just memories once the season is over.
Stone fruit season in the Northwest has always signaled the transition from late summer to early autumn for me. The sun noticeably sets earlier and its warm golden rays have a familiar autumn tinge to it with a touch of crisp chilliness in the air.

This new Starbucks Blonde-roast blend has a rich and sweet mellow flavor to it with a subtle hint of cinnamon and brown sugar pairing perfectly with this spiced peach dessert.

The tart is then baked to golden perfection. Toasted almond slivers and a light dusting of confectioners’ sugar finishes the tart off to make one impressive looking dessert that tastes as good as it looks.

Each delicious bite is filled with the perfect medley of peaches, cream, almond, and cinnamon reflecting the final days of summer while acknowledging the beginnings of autumn just in front of us.
Enjoy!
