How could I resist ? :) It's only missing those sparkling sticks to be truly celebratory.
Blue, White, and Red are the three colors of the french flag, or "Bleu, Blanc, Rouge" as we say there. The colors are supposed to represent the three concepts of the French Revolution, Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood ("Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite"). As I am writing this, the Eiffel Tower has already been showered in fireworks and people are celebrating in streets and cafes.
This is a variation on the strawberry tart reported earlier. I covered only a third of the tart with strawberry halves dipped in honey. I used honey-dipped blueberries for Blue and a mixture of honey, almond powder, almond slices, and pine nuts for White. It's quite a sight !

Yum! I'll have to try that sometime....I like the idea of fruit dipped in honey....
ReplyDeleteI used to brush fruit jam on the strawberries for extra sweetness and shine, but, because of its "neutral" flavor, honey is a much better option in my opinion.
