APRICOT CUSTARD TART
This is a very light dessert and the recipe is very versatile in as much as being able to use a variety of different fruit, though stone fruit seems to work best - apricots, peaches, nectarines etc. And the glaze gives the fruit shine! The preparation time does not include the time it takes to make the pastry or flan case. The only cooking time is the time it takes for the flan case to bake and to make the custard and the glaze - so I've allowed 45 minutes in total.
