Stemilt Cherry and Almond Tart
Simple, fresh and oh so moorish, this tart has summer written all over it. A graham cracker crust filled with rich creamy marscapone cream and topped with world famous Stemilt cherries and nectarines, makes summer entertaining effortless and delicious. I love using Stemilt world famous fruits in this recipe, their family run farm and commitment to sustainable farming makes this dish all the more delicious.
