Berry Tart

On July 4th, my family and I hosted a backyard barbecue. All of the food was taken care of, except dessert. I took it upon myself to create a fresh, casual dessert that tasted sweet and pure. I always love fruit tarts from french bakeries and have had past success creating my own right at home. I used a pre-made tart shell from a local bakery called Downtown Bakery and Creamery in Healdsburg, CA. I have no interest in knowing the amount of butter used in the shell, but it definitely makes for the most exquisit tart. Here are some photographs:
