WITH FREE RECIPE PRINTABLE!
www.ariannesjoy.blogspot.com
Every June we leave our house early in the morning to go strawberry picking.
We arrive in our hats and grab a basket to fill with strawberries. Everyone can't help eating a few as we go. Strawberry juice falling down our faces and a special strawberry induced smile appears. We head to the farm stand to pay for our strawberries and grab a couple goodies on the way...a fresh baked cookie, flowers for the porch, a handmade item. We head home and our van is filled with the sweet smell of strawberries. I can't help but think of all the delicious strawberry recipes I can make.
On the top of my list is this amazing recipe for glazed strawberry tart!
It melts in your mouth and gives you a strawberry induced coma. Not only does it smell good while it's baking, but I actually love the way the bowl smells while I'm making the tart. The sweet smell of flour, walnuts, lemon and vanilla altogether smells heavenly!!
(This recipe contains walnuts: nut allergy warning.)

INGREDIENTS:
1-1/3 cups of flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup finely ground walnuts
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 egg
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup seedless strawberry jam
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced
DIRECTIONS:
1. Stir together flour, walnuts, sugar, lemon rind and salt in a large bowl. Cut butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives, until coarse crumbs form. Whisk together egg and vanilla in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until a dough forms. Shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
2. Preheat the oven 350 degrees. Grease and flour a baking sheet. Place dough on baking sheet; pat dough into a 10 inch circle; forming a high edge. Pierce the dough all over with a fork. Bake until slightly brown, about 25 minutes. Place baking sheet on wire rack and cool for about 10 minutes; transfer shell to rack to cool completely.
3. Melt the jam with lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat until spreadable. Spread 1/2 cup jam mixture on top of the shell. Arrange the berries on the top; brush remaining jam mixture on top. Serve with whip cream if desired.
