Jubilee Tart
This quick and easy tart really sums up all that is great about summer fruits. Their colour and taste are like a burst of sunshine and we could all do with some of that. Serve this cut into squares on a beautiful wooden board and watch it disappear before your very eyes.

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / Gas Mark 6. Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking parchment.
​
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry very thinly into a rectangle approx. 36cm x 24cm. Transfer to the lined baking tray.
​
3. For the frangipane, in a bowl beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs a little at a time, beating well between each addition. Fold in the almonds and flour and mix.
​
4. Using a flat bladed knife, carefully spread the frangipane in a thin, even layer to cover the pastry base. Scatter the berries all over the frangipane and lightly push in.
​
5. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the tart is golden and cooked. Dust the cooked tart with icing sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.
