Once again I wasn't all that excited about this tart. And once again I was surprised. I've never seen creme fraiche around here so a couple of days before I was going to serve the tart I made some. The crust was very easy and Dorie's suggestion about baking it fully worked for me because I actually forgot it was still in the oven when I started to smell it and had to run through the house to take it out. But when I cut it, it didn't crumble at all. I sliced my strawberries, tossed in a little sugar, a quick turn of pepper, and a dash of kirsch. I found some jam in the pantry, assembled the little slices and served to the company I had over topped with a little creme fraiche and got rave reviews. My husband ate three pieces raving the whole time about the creme fraiche. He's a pretty big fan of all things cream and butter. Very delicious and easy.

Way to go making your own creme fraiche. It's not that hard, and tastes delicious with this tart.
