White Peach & Nectarine Tart

This tart is best made during the height of summer, when white peaches are fragrant and sweet and nectarines are at their very best. If summer is many months away and you would like to make a fruit tart, simply change the fruits to suit the seasons–plums and figs if in autumn or perhaps some lightly poached rhubarb if in spring. Many fruits will sit happily atop silky crème pâtissière and crisp pastry, so feel free to experiment.
