Recipes
Cook time: 1 hr 15 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
250g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
250g unsalted butter, cubed
50g icing sugar
1 orange, zested
4 medium eggs (2 whole, plus 2 yolks)
1 tbsp milk
125g golden caster sugar
125g ground almonds
1 tbsp fresh thyme, leaves finely chopped
240g peach conserve
3 fresh peaches, halved, stone removed and cut into ½cm wedges
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 and lightly brush a tart tin with oil.
Step 2
Make the pastry in a food processor by pulsing together the flour with 125g of the butter, icing sugar and orange zest, until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix together the 2 egg yolks and milk with a pinch of salt, pour into the pastry mix and pulse until it starts to come together. Remove and form into a ball.
Step 3
Scatter flour on the work surface and roll the pastry out into a circle that’s about the thickness of a pound coin. Line the tart tin with the pastry, pushing lightly into the edges. Note: pastry can be tricky to move, so try gently folding it over your rolling pin before lifting.
Step 4
Now, roll the rolling pin over the top of the tart tin to cut off the excess pastry. Lightly prick the bottom all over with a fork, then place in the freezer for 10 mins. Once the pastry is chilled, cover with baking paper and baking beans and blind bake on a tray in the oven for 10 mins. Carefully remove the beans and paper and cook for 8 mins more.
Step 5
While the pastry is cooking, make the filling. In a mixing bowl or food processor, cream together the remaining butter and the caster sugar until pale and smooth. Add the 2 whole eggs one at a time, followed by the ground almonds, thyme and a pinch of salt, and thoroughly mix until smooth (you may need to scrape round the sides of the food processor between additions).
Step 6
When the pastry's time is up in the oven, remove it and turn the temperature down to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Spoon the peach conserve into the bottom of the tart, reserving a little for the end. Spoon the filling on top, smoothing it out to the edges and place the peach slices decoratively on top. Bake for 45-50 mins, until lightly browned.
Step 7
Remove the tart and warm through the leftover jam. Brush this over all the peach slices. Allow to cool before tucking in.

A RIPOFF
£3.25 is a completer ripoff for such poor quality produce. Small and tasteless. Two were rotten and the other 2 rock hard. I claimed a refund.
Tastless
I should have looked at the reviews before buying these. They are completely tasteless and virtually inedible. Weirdly when tasteless peaches create a strange sensation in your mouth. Definitely don't buy these. Persevered with two but throwing the other two in the bin!
Ripe \x26 Ready \- LOL
These weren't ripe and they were only ready for the bin. Tasteless and hard. I left them two weeks to become soft but they were still tasteless. Don't bother.
Moudly
Poor quality, didnt even last in the fridge, immediately bad and mouldy.
Dry, Hard & Tasteless
Far from being 'ready to eat' these were hard and unripe. Gave a couple a gentle squeeze to see if they were juicy but just hard. After a couple of days I bit into one and it was so dry inside not juicy like other peaches. Threw it away and within a couple more days gone wrinkly. I buy regularly Ocado own brand products and these are the worst peaches I've ever bought.
Dehydrated and bitter
The flesh was gone brown and bitter, not juicy. Had to throw them out
