Part 8/9:
Arriving back at the kitchen, the completed strawberry tart embodies the rich flavors of its past. Post-baking, the filling exhibits a smooth, airy texture accented by the sweetness of concentrated strawberries—a worthy homage to generations of culinary history. The crust provides a delightful buttery base, and while saffron is not necessary for flavor, it offers a picturesque color typical of that time.
Interestingly, historical recipes often utilized strawberry leaves, though modern accessibility to them as an ingredient is rare. Thus, while we indulge in the sweet fruit itself, we can still appreciate the lore surrounding these beloved berries.
