The Daily Eat: Cream Scones.

Since it’s an extremely short week on my part, I’ve decided not to dedicate this week to any particular ingredient. Instead I thought I’d pick a few miscellaneous recipes that don’t really match up to anything else I have tucked away in my food files.

I’ve only ever had the luxury of eating homemade scones once. I love the simplicity of these cream scones– they’d be tasty paired with anything an everything you could put on them.

The Daily Eat: Fresh Cherry Tart.

Tarts are fantastic for many a reason – the first and most important being that they’re usually pretty easy to concoct. The second is that tart pans are so fun with their crimped edges (but that’s besides the point). The combination of all the different textures and flavors in this Fresh Cherry Tart looks incredible!

The Daily Eat: Gâteau Basque.

A gâteau basque sounds extremely foreign (which is is) and complicated (which it isn’t). Gâteau basque is simply a thin pastry filled with preserved fruit and pastry cream. Check out this version with cherry preserves. *Drool.*

The Daily Eat: Cherry Jam Cake.

Isn’t it funny how artificial cherry flavor tastes nothing like cherries? I absolutely despise it. So with that thought in mind, I give you Cherry Week – involving nothing but the actual ruby red fruit itself.

We’re kicking off the week with Cherry Jam Cake. Cherry jam in and of itself is one of my favorites, so I’m pretty convinced this one is a win-win.

The Daily Eat: Wild Blueberries & Cream Tart.

I’m not attending any 4th of July get togethers this year (that I know of at least – seems like something always pops up though!), but if I were I think this Wild Blueberries & Cream Tart would be the perfect dessert to take along. I might even toss a few sliced up strawberries on top for that extra red, white and blue touch! I wouldn’t want to be called out for being unpatriotic or anything…

The Daily Eat: Nectarine and Blueberry Slump.

This is all you need to know about this Nectarine and Blueberry Slump:

Like a stovetop cobbler, the slump and its fraternal twin the grunt combine sweetened fruit with dumplings (in this case, cornmeal), which fall or slump into the bubbling fruit mixture. This old-fashioned dessert is best served warm, scooped into bowls, and drizzled with heavy cream.

Oh. My.
