Patriotic dessert

Happy Fourth of July! I’m a sucker for patriotic holidays. Perhaps it’s because both my dad and grandpa were Marines. I always feel such a sense of pride and gratitude for our troops and our nation.

I’m also a sucker for themes. So what better way to meld the two than with a patriotic dessert?

I took Paula Dean’s fruit tart recipe, omitted the glaze (I’m not the biggest fan of fruit tart glazes) and took some creative liberties (get it…liberty?).

Happy Fourth of July! How are you celebrating?
