Simply Extraordinary ! This moist, rich concoction makes a stunning tea party tart. I love to take it with me on a fall country picnic ...complete with thermos of hot tea with lemon , pretty china tea cups, and a beautiful heirloom quilt . I always bring along a few cashmere over sized shawls just to make sure everyone is super comfy.
