Recipe Lemon sour cherry tart

 Lemon Sour Cherry Tart (Hardisty family recipe)

This lemon tart was such a success at a recent garden visit that we have had to relent and publish its previously secret recipe here, with many thanks to the Hardisty family from Victoria.

Ingredients:

350 g sour cherries, pitted, halved (sweet cherries also work if you haven't got sour ones)

3 eggs, whisked lightly

1 cup caster sugar

half a cup plain flour

125 g unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly

300 g sour cream

1 tbsp lemon rind, grated

half a cup lemon juice

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (fan forced)

Mix dry ingredients.

Mix wet ingredients, adding the slightly cooled butter last

Add wet to dry, mix, pour into quiche dish or the like

Arrange cherries on top of mixture, they will sink in a bit.

Bake at 180 degrees C for 40 minutes.

Cool, and then place in fridge for at least 2 hours.

Dust with icing sugar to serve.
