Instructions

St. Honore Style Recipe, Bake the pastry over inverted tins as for "peach tarts." Remove from the tin and half fill with St.
Honore cream, then finish filling with strawberries cut in halves and mixed with sugar.
PEACH TARTS
Cover inverted individual tins with pastry (it will take but a small piece for two tins, a little "left over" will answer).
Set the tins on a pie tin to keep the edge of the paste from the oven.
Prick the paste all over with a fork and let bake.
It will take about eight minutes.
Remove the pastry from the tins and set it onto individual plates.
Put a canned peach in each piece of pastry.
Pipe whipped cream above and sprinkle the cream with fine-chopped pistachio nuts.
Or fill the hollow spaces in the center and around the peach with jelly or marmalade and put a blanched almond in the center of the peach.
Serve with the syrup from the peaches as a sauce.
Halves of apple, cooked in syrup (sugar and water, half a cup of each, cooked six minutes), may replace the peaches.
