Author Notes: On a hot summer night when we have a crusty baguette from Mikee the baker and sour cherries, we make these little ‘tarts’ Inspired by London’s River Cafe. They are easy to make and taste surprisingly tart-like. This works well with all stone fruits – apricots, plums, peaches, nectarines. —POCKETKnife.life
