GLAZED KIWI TART
Named for the kiwi bird of New Zealand, the kiwifruit has a delicious, mixed-fruit flavor and is high in vitamin C. Posted for ZWT8 - Australia. Found on an Australian food blog "Emelys Recipes". It is so very easy to make and is a lovely presentation for a dinner party or other special occasion! Increasing servings of both this recipe and the pate sucree to1.5 pies makes a nice 12 inch tart. Instead of a store bought pie shell, you can use any of the pate sucree or pate brisee recipes on this site. Try Recipe#483065 from Real Simple - so easy and you can pat it right into the pan - no rolling!!! Feel free to use other fruits - my pics show kiwi and strawberry. Yum!
