Custard Peach Tart

The weather has brightened a little, maybe that’s why I started thinking about summery flavours. It’s a good few months until peaches are in season but I do love a tinned peach, the pastry contains virtually no sugar and it’s dry biscuity texture works really well against the creamy custard and  juicy soft fruit. I bought two different brand of tinned peach, Del Monte and tesco. Tesco one tastes so crap! so yeah.. the highest price, the better quality lol
