Honey tart with preserved figs and almond
“Figs need to ripen on the tree. Usually, the gnarlier they look, the more treacly goodness is on the inside. We have three hives on the property. The honey is pretty amazing – you can taste the nuances of what the bees have been eating.” – Colin Barker
Lemon tart with preserved lemon cream
“Citrus is the perfect full-flavoured seasonal ingredient. They have a long shelf life in the fruit bowl, but also preserve so well.” – Jo Barrett

Summer berry custard tart
“This mixed berry baked custard tart is such a beautiful dessert to share with friends. I got this recipe from my mum; it’s super-versatile! I’ve made it as small and large-size tarts. You can also swap out the berries for other fruits as the seasons change. During this season, I always grab berries such as raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and boysenberries. I sometimes cut them in half to add more colour and texture, and arrange them all over to cover the top of the tart.” - Carina La Delfa
