Delicious Tips
A pinch of cinnamon or vanilla in the jam is fantastic
If the oranges are very sweet, add a hint of lemon zest
It’s even better the next day ❤️
👉 Handy tip: use untreated oranges, both for the juice and zest, so the orange tart will have an intense and natural aroma.
👉 Another trick: don’t overwork the dough, so the base stays crumbly and the tart softer.
