Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Fit the puff pastry into the tart pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Peel the peaches. Cut them and the nectarines into thin wedges. Reserve.
- In a small bowl whisk together the cream, sugar, egg and the nut powders. If you don't find hazelnut powder, simply substitute almond powder.
- When the pastry is chilled, arrange the fruits in it in concentric circles, mounding any extra slices in the center. Pour the cream evenly over the fruit, and bake the tart in the middle of the oven until the cream and fruit are golden on top, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the tart from the pastry ring. When the tart is almost cool, slip it off the tart pan onto a serving platter, and serve.
NECTARINE TART
This is simple and delicious and works with any stone fruit. Try it with plums or peaches. This is good at room temperature or chilled and is great with a bit of whipped cream or ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel the nectarines and cut into slices. Toss with the lemon juice and a few pinches of sugar if the fruit is not too sweet. If the fruit is sweet and fresh skip the sugar. Set aside.
- Cream the sugar and butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and eggs and beat until combined.
- Spoon batter into a 10 inch pie pan (it will look like there is not enough batter but there is). Place the nectarine slices on top of the batter packing them in tightly. Sprinkle lightly with lemon juice and some sugar, depending on the sweetness of the fruit.
- Bake 50 to 60 minutes until golden brown. Cool. Refrigerate if desired. Sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar on top if desired.

TASTE OF SUMMER NECTARINE CUSTARD TART
You know that summer has arrived when you bite into that first peach or apricot or nectarine. I love all fruits, and have many fruit trees in my backyard. Every year, the first tree (stone-fruit) to blossom is my nectarine. The fruits ripen in mid-May and the harvest ends within weeks. Despite the May ripening, these fruits make me feel that summer has arrived. Biting into a sun-ripened, warm nectarine always reminds me of my childhood. Hope you like this recipe from the Santa Barbara News-Press, a 1980s edition. I have tweaked it a bit, and think it rivals any French pastry recipe.

Steps:
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt and the 1/2 cup of sugar. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or two butter knives) until crumbly in consistency. Pat this mixture evenly into a buttered 9" x 13" metal baking pan. Try not to have the corners too thick. Remember not to "play" with this pastry too much. Just pat gently into the pan.
- Be ready to make your custard while the pastry is baking. Bake pastry @ 400F on low shelf in oven. Check at 8 minutes. Mix together the custard ingredients: egg yolks lightly beaten with the other 1/2 cup sugar. Add sour cream (or yogurt) and your extract of choice (vanilla or orange). Pastry may take 10 to 12 minutes to bake. Make sure it is only lightly browned. Remove from oven. Leave oven on.
- Pour your mixed custard evenly over the lightly browned pastry. Make sure to get custard to the corners. Return the pan to the still 400F oven. Bake a further 5-10 minutes, or until custard is set, and no longer jiggly. Do not over bake. Prepare your nectarine slices while the pastry and custard is cooling on a rack. Chill the custard and pastry for five minutes if you like, but it's not absolutely necessary.
- Look at the pretty nectarines. I like to leave the skins on. Your tart will taste better the higher quality fruit you use. Organic is best, if you can get it. These nectarines pictured are from my tree.
- Slice the nectarines about 1/4 inch thick. Lay them atop custard as shown in photo. This tart is best served after chilling about an hour or more in refrigerator. I can never wait that long and like to eat it straight away. Cut into slices, according to your whim. This recipe has been doubled from original, so it is easy to make only 1/2 if you have a 9" x 9" pan. Hope you like it.
