GREENGAGE AND ALMOND PIE (Tarte Reine-Claude et amandes)
GREENGAGE AND ALMOND PIE
(Tarte Reine-Claude et amandes)
The greengages’ season is nearly finished now, so we’ll have to make the most of it…Cooked, greengages are marvelous : juicy and sweet, they literally melt in you mouth… I needed a base and almond was the best (as always with cooked fruits I think), easy and tasty. If you cannot find greengages, go for any plums : red, black or yellow.
