Olallieberry Tart with Chocolate Frangipane

Jul 20 by Anita Leave a Comment

This olallieberry tart with chocolate frangipane is a my latest way to celebrate berry picking season. We’ve gone berry picking almost every summer, and it’s always a challenge each year to come up with some new way to use our bounty before it gets eaten up.  This time, I was inspired by Maja Vase‘s blackberry […]...
