#fruit pie
Sour Cherry & Lime Pie
for the filling
2 quarts of fresh sour cherries, rinsed and pitted
¼ cup sugar
3 heaping tablespoons of pulverized instant tapioca (I make mine in the coffee grinder)
zest of 3 limes
¼ teaspoon fresh grated cinnamon
for the crust
2 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour (I used a locally milled flour and it was…rustic–go for the regular stuff if you’re new to DIY dough.)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
16 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, rough chopped
8-10 tablespoons ice water, or more if needed
egg white (optional)
2 teaspoons sugar (optional)

First and second attempt at tarts
The peach and frangipane tart (bottom left) won second place at my schools bake off! I was rushed on the second attempt so I know the third attempt will be even better.

Not too bad for a first time tart-maker. I’ve got to work on my pastry skills and filling proportions, but they both tasted delicious!
