Sweet summer fruit tarts

Use succulent, ripe peaches or figs for flavorful desserts|ELAINE JOHNSON

Some desserts are too good to forget. Miles apart and years ago, I sampled two fruit tarts that bore delicious similarities. Each had a buttery shortbread crust filled with summer fruit and a sticky nut sauce. One used peaches, the other figs. You can have both of these desserts by making a few changes in a basic recipe, to create individual pastries or a large tart.
