After my first read through of this month's Daring Bakers' challenge, I was a bit perplexed as to what it was we were to make. I had never heard of frangipane and wondered what it would be like on top of jam spread in a short crust. Then after reading that the Bakewell Tart is so popular in the UK that it is mass produced, I was intrigued.
The tart came together quite easily in my mother's kitchen. I was able to manage without all of kitchen equipment! I made a microwave jam out of strawberries that we picked at a local farm.
It is waiting to be served at a family Sunday dinner. The taste results will be in soon.
We had the tart and I must say it was okay. I wasn't in love with it. Other tasters liked it but didn't love it.
