Tarheel Blackberry Tart

I think I should just start by saying… Fall is here!

Yeah, I know…it’s still warm out, the leaves have not all changed and the I haven’t watched; It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown® ( yet ) but it is close y’all !!

That hubbyman of mine has been out back all day, manning the smoker as he loves to do and I thought … “Hey, he made me ribs, least I can do is pop a tart in the oven”  I often do not think in Italics… but it looks pretty right? Anyway, I made an amazing little cup of sweet fall goodness… and easy as, um, pie?

try it, you will like it too…. pinky promise..

loves ya!

Roll out the dough a bit thinner than is comes, use flour on your pin to keep it from sticking…
