When making tarts, the French always use whatever fruit is in season, when it is at its peak and cheapest, and are proud of their respect for time, quality ingredients and money. The following tart is regularly made by a member of my family. My own daughter, in spite of having a Scottish mother, also appreciates the value of a beautiful French tart!
Use whatever variety of stone fruit is in season: nectarines, peaches, plums, cherries or apricots.
