Strawberry Lemonade Tart

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

Just when I was getting used to the idea of spring, it was positively summer in NYC yesterday. We're talking 90 degrees. While it looks like there's relief in sight, it made me realize that I am not ready for summer. Let's hold on to spring for a while longer, okay? If we have to have warm days, then we can take relief in this tart. The tart and sweet flavors of strawberry lemonade are baked into a graham cracker crust for a refreshing dessert.

I've told you before about my grandmother's green metal recipe box. It's filled with handwritten and clipped recipes for amazing desserts. Some are very familiar, and some not at all. I found not one but three recipes for strawberry pie in there recently, yet I have no memory of her making even one. Still, I felt compelled to try a version of my own. I took some things I liked about each recipe, threw in some of my own ideas, and came up with this amazingly delicious pie.

I've never been a huge fan of pound cake. I like it just fine and definitely wouldn't turn down a slice. (Although, when given a choice, I'll go chocolate just about every time.) But, in the case of this one, there's pound cake and then there's pound cake.

I've never been a great fan of Spring. Living in the South, I knew all too well that it would last a few weeks, and then we'd be mired in Summer for what seemed like years. Since our move last fall to New York, though, it seems I've had a change of heart. I am actually excited about Spring! I stop on the streets and in the parks to take pictures of flowers and blooming trees. I have happily put away my scarves and boots until cooler weather. This Easter, as I was basking in the early Spring-ness of New York, I decided that our meal should include something befitting of this beautiful season. In an unusual turn of events, I went with a non-chocolate dessert. You're shocked, I know.

View a printable recipe or more photos There are a few food combinations that never get old. Peanut butter and jelly is one of those combinations for me. I will gladly eat a PB&J most any day. This recipe using that delicious combination recently called out to me from the pages of one of my favorite cookbooks, Martha Stewart's Cookies.
