Best Fraises Marinees Aux Calvados Strawberries In Calvados Recipes
TARTES AUX FRAISES (STRAWBERRY TARTS - FRANCE)
This recipe from *French Bistro and Cafe Cooking* by Pierre-Yves Chupin has a stunning presentation & would be perfect as an elegant dinner party finale, but is also a surprisingly easy make-ahead fix. Per the intro: "Strawberry tart is a classic dessert & a perennial favorite at Chez Serge in Saint-Owen, France. This version is enriched w/an almond cream filling, giving it a deliciously smooth texture & delicate flavor." This dessert looks amazing & for me would not require such excess, but a rose champange was suggested as ideal to pair w/it. *Enjoy* !

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
- Make filling by mixing the sugar & ground almonds together in a bowl. Then blend in the softened butter, egg, flour & rum (or kirsch). Set aside in a cool place.
- Make bases by rolling out the puff pastry into 4 circles of equal diameter (approx 4-in). Prick the circles well using the tines of a fork, leaving a 1/4-in circular border. Spread almond cream filling over the pastry & allow to sit for a few minutes.
- Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven & allow to fully cool. Wash, drain, hull & thinly slice strawberries while bases are cooking & cooling.
- You are essentially done at this point & can set aside the bases & strawberries for final assembly at your pleasure. To Assemble: Arrange strawberries on the bases in rosette shapes, sprinkle w/powdered sugar & serve immediately. (So easy! Was I right or not?).

FRAISES MARINEES AUX CALVADOS (STRAWBERRIES IN CALVADOS)
If you are lucky enough to pick your own berries, pick nice ripe little ones for this so you don't have to slice them--not that sliced strawberries won't look and taste lovely as well.
