TWD: La Palette's Strawberry Tart

This week's selection was made by Marie of A Year From Oak Cottage. While I thought this dessert was gorgeous, it was one that I did not have. I think it might be time to tell you about strawberries and me. I have a really weird relationship with strawberries. I love strawberry syrup, puree, milk, and jam but I don't like the fruit itself. I can eat the fruit when it's covered in chocolate but I can't eat it on its own. You will never catch me eating fresh strawberries, they just don't appeal to me. I have tried to eat them, but it never ends well. I think my dislike for strawberry fruit is countered by Alex's love of strawberries. To him strawberries are the perfect fruit. So while I didn't take advantage of this dessert, Alex did. I coated the strawberries in amaretto and it smelled wonderful. Alex didn't even notice the layer of strawberry jam, but he said that it was really good. This dessert is great for the strawberry lover and for the person who doesn't want to spend too much time making a beautiful looking dessert.
