Apricots

I haven't turned my oven on much this summer. I've been gone and usually it's just too dang hot but I came home from the lake this week with a bag of perfectly ripe apricots. I didn't buy them. I'm not particularly fond of them. I enjoy apricot jam BUT that's where my love stops. So they have just been sitting, ripening, and beckoning for me to use them.

Apricot Tart in purest form

Cut up apricots and fill bottom of tart shells

Sprinkle with corn starch and toss.

Sprinkle liberally with sugar.

Add a few nuts.

Bake at 350 for 15- 20 minutes until crust is golden and syrup is thick.

Eat and enjoy.

These tarts are sweet and tangy. They are delicious and simple.
