Orange Cranberry Fool Tart -Tarta de Naranja y Arándanos
(recipe available in English and Spanish)The oranges are HERE!! Big bags bursting with South Texas goodness are making their way into my kitchen. ‘Tis the season for turkey, Christmas cookies and Texas Citrus. Texas oranges and grapefruits are widely popular this time of year and don’t forget those luscious valley lemons, they make the best limonada.
The moment I got the email from Cooking Light featuring this cranberry tart loaded with orange goodness I knew I just had to make it for our pre-Thanksgiving meal. The day we gut the fridge, head out for our huge grocery haul and all the Thanksgiving prep begins. The chopping, dicing and baking you know all that fun stuff that makes the meal really shine. And what sweeter way to celebrate the beginning of all the kitchen madness than with a fluffy tart laced with Texas citrus. Sweet.
