Black Currant Tart

Did you Know ?

Currants are an excellent low-calorie source of Vitamin C and are high in bioflavonoids. Black currant lead both the red and white types in nutritional value. A cup of black currant provides a whooping 220mg of Vitamin C and 360 mg of potassium. Currants are also a good source of fibre , providing about 2g per cup.

Here's a recipe which I enjoy.

Ingredients:

Short crust pastry made with whole wheat flour
16 oz - Black currants
4 oz - Honey
4tbsp - chopped sweet Cicely
Glace Cherries

Method :

• Heat oven to 400F. Use the pastry to line 6 tart tins 2-inches deep by 2 inches diameter. Mix the currants with the honey and Cicely. Fill the pastry with the currants. Cover each tart individually with foil & place on a baking sheet.
  
• Bake for 25 minutes. Let them cool completely.
• If you wish, whip up some cream & pipe it onto the tarts. Decorate with glace cherries.

Enjoy the recipe !
