Both, the Mission and Kadota fig trees are loaded with fruit. The Black Mission figs are ripe again for the second time this year. I am sharing with raccoons at night and crows during the day. However, there are still plenty to share with neighbors and friends.
This is a simple and easy to make tart. After baking the crust I mix some Creme Fraiche and sugar for the filling and lay the sliced figs on top. A glaze of thinned apricot jam (lemon and sugar) can be used to make the tart shiny.
I have also filled the unbaked pastry shell with an almond cream and topped with the fruit and baked it at 375. My favorite almond paste recipe is Thomas Keller's recipe.This tart as well as similar ones are great to freeze and rebake at 350. I've done both, straight from the freezer and leaving in fridge overnight. Both ways work.
