With Julia Child’s help, these ripe summer fruits are going to wow your taste buds and any possible dinner guests in the form of her incredible fresh peach tart. Use the leftover egg whites to make meringues.How does a crisp, juicy, and oh-so-sweet peach sound on these warmer, stickier summer days? They’re at their peak, they’re calling you, whether it’s at the Union Square farmer’s market, or stacked high above your head at Fairway, their potent, pure, and unmistakable scent beckons you.When making the crème pat, ribbon stage is when you lift the beaters and there is a trail of mixture visible like a ribbon.Cut into wedges and serve at room temperature.

Brush the peach slices and pastry edges with the apricot glaze and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to set before serving. Arrange the slices of peach overlapping in a neat spiral on top. Fill the pastry case with the cold crème pat, spreading to the edges.Place over a low heat and stir until smooth and runny. Place the apricot jam in a small saucepan.Strain the peach slices from the syrup and leave to cool completely. Turn down the heat, add the peach slices and simmer gently for a few minutes, until the peaches are just soft, but not falling apart.Stir to dissolve the sugar, then bring up to the boil and boil for 2 minutes. To poach the peaches, measure 200ml (1/3 pint) water and the caster sugar into a wide-based saucepan.When the crème pat is cold, fold in the whipped cream.
