Tablescape Thursday and a Rustic Peach Tart for Foodie Friday

This week I am combining my Tablescape Thursday post with a Foodie Friday post. Please visit Susan at http://www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ to enjoy lots of fun tablescapes and Gollum at http://www.designsbygollum.blogspot.com/ to drool over some truly beautiful food!!

Walking through Marshall's the other day I found these placemats on clearance and knew they would look great with my green Bordello Pinneiro dishes from Portugal.

The dishes have an assortment of animals; rabbit, rooster, pig and cow.

Rustic Peach Tart I found a recipe for the tart on RealSimple.com and played around with it a bit.

Arthur Court pewter napkin rings - Butterfly.

Rustic Peach Tart Ingredients

1/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup sugar

4 peaches, sliced

1 readymade refrigerated piecrust

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Rinse and slice peaches, removing pits. Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon and ginger and add the sliced peaches and toss together.

Unroll the piecrust dough and place on a baking sheet covered with foil or parchment.

Arrange the peaches in the center of the dough and gently fold and pleat the crust about 2" over the peaches - leave the center of the peaches uncovered.

Lightly brush dough with water and sprinkle with 2 Tablespoons sugar.

Bake about 15 minutes at 425 degrees and reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake for another 25 minutes or until golden.

Cool slightly before serving. Top with ice cream for a fantastic summer dessert!!
