Yorkshire Curd Tarts
My husband John is from Sheffield, England, in South Yorkshire....This wonderful pastry is one of his favorites. Quick and easy to make, it’s delicious as either a breakfast pastry or dessert. You can customize this recipe with a variety of dried fruits, peels and flavorings. We love to use mace and Michigan dried cherries in the filling; it is equally good with one teaspoon of lemon zest and two tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Traditionally in England you would add one-half teaspoon of preserves to match your choice of fruit. I find it a bit too sweet, but try it and see!
