One of the things I look forward to with the arrival of spring is rhubarb and being able to make one of my favorite desserts – strawberry-rhubarb anything.  I’ve adapted a pie recipe, sweetened up the crust a bit and made tarts instead this year, and I must say it is a huge improvement.  Feel free to make one large tart or four mini tartlets – either way, a delicious sweet luxury.

One thought on “Strawberry Rhubarb Tartlet

  1. They certainly look moreish. Rhubarb and strawberries are a great combination. I enjoyed making jam today with that combination and left a jar unsealed so I could enjoy small spoonfuls. Couldn’t resist!?
