Ingredients

Crust:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons sour cream

Filling:

About 6 medium peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
3 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Glaze:

1/2 cup peach preserves or jelly
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate
Mint, forgarnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

To make the crust:

Place the flour, butter, and sour cream in a food processor and pulse to combine. When the dough has formed a ball, pat with lightly floured hands into the bottom and sides of an ungreased 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and 1/2-inch sides, or a round au gratin dish. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crust is set but not browned. Let cool while preparing the filling.

Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

To make the filling:

If using fresh peaches, peel and thickly slice the peaches. Arrange the fresh peach slices in overlapping circles on top of the crust, until it's completely covered. Overfill the crust, as peaches will shrink during cooking.

Combine the egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, and flour and beat until smooth. Pour the mixture over the peaches. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour, until the custard sets and is pale golden in color. Cover with an aluminum foil tent if the crust gets too dark. Transfer the tart pan to a wire rack to cool. When cool, remove the side wall of the pan.

To make the glaze:

Combine the preserves or jelly and orange juice. Spread with a pastry brush over the top of the warm tart. Serve the tart warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Garnish with fresh mint.

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Even though I used canned peaches, it turned out delicious and flavorful. My entire family loved it. I did not have the glaze... ingredients on hand, so I just used a little bit of the corn syrup that the peaches came in.Read more

Love the custard!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this tart for the second time today... My husband and I loved it -- especially the custard. My husband likes the... custard just the way it is in this recipe - "not too sweet" -- but I'm going to compare the ingredients for the custard in this recipe to those for a creme brulee and see if I can make something closer to creme brulee the next time... I am a very experienced cook - but bread and pie crust I have never attempted... I think the crust for this recipe would make a very easy, tasty, light, all-purpose pie crust for me from now on -- so now, on to the next challenge - BREAD!Read more

Wonderful Example of a Peach Tart
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The flavor of this tart depends almost entirely on how flavorful your peaches are. That said, I tossed my cut peaches with... some lemon juice and extra sugar, because they lacked a little in flavor. Also, I did not use all of the sour cream filling -- probably because I stuffed as many peaches as possible into the tart. In the end, it turned out beautifully and the glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I just noticed that I actually baked the tart at 375, not 350, and it turned out great... so you might not want to lower the oven temperature. 4 stars only because the recipe isn't outstanding, but it is a good one to have in your repertoire.

Soggy Tart
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I made Paula's peach tart this past weekend. I used fresh peaches that we had just picked. Unfortunately the tart came out... on the soggy side. Maybe my peaches were too juicy. My husband loves peaches and said the tart tasted like peaches and he liked it. I just found it soggy and running all over my plate. Taste was good, presentation was "soggy"Read more
