Banana & Strawberry Tart

I made a banana/strawberry tart this past weekend but wanted to pass it around for tasting before I posted the recipe.  The comments were positive.




Ingredients

• 2 Bananas
• 1 - 2 cups of strawberries
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tbl Butter
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup of Brown sugar
• 1 tsp of vanilla
• 1/2 pint of Heavy cream
• 1 tsp corn starch
• 1 Pre-made graham cracker crust (lazy I know but I was in a hurry and it tasted good)

Preparation

• Slice the bananas and strawberries
• Make a roux (thickening mixture) with the corn starch and heavy cream - have ready by the stove
• Melt the butter in a skillet on low heat, add the brown sugar, spices, and vanilla
• Add the fruit and increase the heat
• Toss or stir the mixture ensuring that everything cooking and coated in the sugar/spice mixture
• Once the fruit begins to soften add the heavy cream/corn starch roux
• Increase the heat, stir constantly while the mixture thickens
• Pour the thickened mixture ito the pre-made pie crust and tin
• Place in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes
• Remove and let cool, although I dug into it while it was still warm

A couple of notes of interest - bananas have a tendency to discolor but if I had time I would have covered the tart with a homemade whipped cream.  Perhaps slightly sweetened with confectioners sugar and flavored with vanilla.  Perhaps showing my age but serving the tart warm/hot in a shallow bow of cream would be another nice finish.
