When I made the asparagus and gruyere tart a while ago I was amazed at how easy it was to work with frozen puff pastry and how great the results were with so little effort. When I made the tart I was eagerly awaiting the start of the strawberry season and I was thinking that a similar sweet version of the tart with strawberries would also be great! While I was waiting for the strawberries I came across a recipe for a strawberry tart on The Hungry Mouse that was just what I was thinking. Now that the strawberries are finally here, the strawberry tart was at the top of the list of things to make. I still had some of the strawberry and rhubarb jam that I had made last year and I thought that the hint of rhubarb would be great on the tart so I went with that for the jam. The strawberry tart was just as easy to make as the asparagus tart and the results were even better. How can you go wrong with a buttery, light and flaky crust topped with slightly roasted strawberries covered in strawberry and rhubarb jam? The only thing missing here is a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream. One thing to watch out for in this recipe is to taste test the strawberry and jam mixture for sweetness ahead of time. If it is a little on the tart side add some sugar to sweeten it up. I am thinking that the next time I make this I might add a layer of cream cheese between the pastry and the strawberries.
