Cheats Raspberry Tart-5

The raspberries are coming. All the wet weather has made our raspberry bush – which had been aggressively pruned back – explode in size and there’s a ton of fruit waiting to ripen. We’ve started to get our first few berries each day and if the sun comes out long enough I can forecast a 10 day period where we can’t pick them fast enough.

Because the faster you pick them, the raspberries just keep on coming. One of the reasons I’m not into gardening very much is the burden of finding someone else to water everything if you’re away in a hot spell. And I find watering the garden so tedious and dull I cannot bring myself to ask anyone else to do it. Being bored to tears by gardening means I never get into conversation with anyone to see if they’d be interested in doing a swap.

Cheats Raspberry Tart-3

A couple of summers ago my husband and I were away for five days marking my 40th birthday which fell during peak raspberry season. My mother, at home to look after Ted, dutifully picked the fruit for the first three days and efficiently bagged up the excess not eaten fresh for the freezer. Then she hands over the reins to my dad. My dad, finding Ted challenging enough as responsibility without inconveniently bountiful raspberry bushes on top, decided to leave the berries on the bush and only pick a few to eat. My husband has never missed an opportunity to rib him about it since.

With biblical tones, my husband teases, “he who helps with the harvest gets to enjoy the fruit.”

I am also slightly apprehensive about raspberry season. I have five bags in the freezer from last year. There are only so many raspberry smoothies a girl can guzzle and if I’m honest I much prefer the chocolate banana shrink mummy shake anyway.

I dare say this week many of us have got other things to think about so today’s recipe is ridiculously easy cheat.

Cheat’s Raspberry Tart

Ingredients
150g white chocolate
150g quark
1 ready made pastry case
Raspberries

Directions

Melt the white chocolate and take off the heat to cool slightly. Stir in the quark; beat until smooth, allow to cool completely. Spread the white chocolate and quark mix onto the pastry case and dot with berries. Ta-dah!
