Living in the land of peaches I find myself always looking for new ways to cook and bake with this summer time stone fruit.  I’ve done cobbler, ice cream, muffins, pies, etc., but I hadn’t done a tart.  Tarts can be somewhat tricky.  That pesky perfection of crust aspect and all.  But not rustic tarts.  Rustic tart’s beauty actually lies in the imperfect.  And let me tell you rustic tarts you have currently stolen my heart.  And this tart, my peach and blueberry rustic tart, well it may not look perfect but it tastes pretty dang close.  So roll out some dough, whip up some homemade ice cream, and cut a slice of what can only  be described as Southern Summer in your mouth.  Porch swing and sweet tea not included.  truly, MKR
