Classic French currant tart with a vanilla butter pastry shell, silky pastry cream, fresh red currants, and a kirsch-currant jelly glaze edged with toasted almonds.

Sweet and sour rhubarb-pomegranate filling is topped with a buttery and flakey pastry. Serve the baked warm and juicy cobbler with some cream, delicious.

This is a wonderful recipe for either a dinner party or Sunday lunch. Whether or not you use redcurrants in the actual sauce or purely as a decoration depends very much on the time of year and variety of redcurrants you can find. End of summer home-grown redcurrants add a wonderful sweet tartness to the sauce, however imported under-ripe fruits can impart a certain bitterness and are probably best left for garnish. If you do not use fresh berries add a little extra redcurrant jelly.
