Well, I certainly am. So remember when I asked you guys what you wanted to see this year? Well a few of you were specific and @nonameslefttouse said he wanted to see my tarts. So here you go.

Okay, you’re probably wanting to know what in the world a Chilean guava berry is. Also know as New Zealand cranberries, they are a berry that is native to South America and they grow all through the Andes where I used to live.

They are called “murta” down in Chile and they taste like, well you’d kind of just have to try one, but some people say they taste like apples, pineapple, or pears and I’ve even heard some say that they taste like vanilla and cotton candy. Personally, I think they taste a little like a pine tree and strawberry had a baby, but they’re very unique to say the least.

They don’t grow in my neighborhood now because I live back in Idaho, but I got these from some friends so I could make this tart. I wanted to do something simple but really good with them and a tart seemed like the perfect thing. Obviously most of you won’t be able to get your hands on them but that’s what I love about this tart, you can use any berry in their place. Oooh, I bet blueberries would be amazing or any wild berries you may have nearby. I know that when I start picking huckleberries this summer, those would be perfect too!

Other than using honey, which you can replace if you need to, I made this recipe completely vegan and it’s gluten free too. In fact, it’s even healthy enough for breakfast or afternoon snacking. Oh, and on more thing, the candied lemons were a first time thing for me but they definitely won’t be a last. You’ve got to try them! If you guys make this I’d love to hear what berries you use!

Very good food pictures. Delicious food. "Murtta "
Wow! I've never seen tarts like that before.
I'm in a strange state of shock right now, or something. I don't know when I'm mentioned anywhere. I clicked two articles out of many to choose from... and my name was in both of them. What's going on! I'm freakin' out! I'll be okay though. It's just tarts. I've seen tarts before.
Alright. I'm calm. I'm wondering if you've ever tried Saskatoon berries? Those things are amazing. Good for tarts too.
I am really bummed it's taken me 3 days to see this, I don't know where I've been.
I'm always looking for things to improve my tarts, I take a look for Saskatoon berries. Do you think they'll make my tarts bigger?
In the lost and found. That's where I hang out, most days.
They'll be huge! People will wonder where you got those from!
P.S. You got me back. I actually lol'd at that one!
I'm laughing as I type! I am thrilled that I made you laugh and how much fun to laugh at making others laugh, now that's fun.
But seriously though, I am going shopping for the berries tomorrow! - LOL
They say this laughter stuff causes wrinkles but even a dried saskatoon berry still looks good. I hope you find some! Good luck!
Very nice photos, you are really good with that nikon! I had never heard of the Chilean guava berry before and had to read a little more before replying, now I would love to have one planted in my garden!
How wonderful @almvide! Thanks for your support
thanks for showing us your TARTS!
hey @freerunner, it is so good to hear from you!
Looks so yummy, thanks for sharing the recipe with all of us!
