Happy Birthday, Sherlock Holmes!

Every year for Sherlock Holmes's birthday (recognised rightly or wrongly by most as 06 Jan) I make an Epiphany tart (jam tart). I used my own favourite flavours of jams (store-bought jams, I don't make my own jam) this year: raspberry, blackberry, and apricot.

Very envious. It looks delicious!

It is good! I just tried a piece with coffee. I steered away from unusual flavours this year and if we do get snowed in, it will be gone toot-sweet as Bertie Wooster would say.

Happy birthday, Holmes :D And the tart looks lovely–like a very tasty stained-glass window.

Yes, it was tasty! I've already tried a piece with coffee. It is supposed to be a stained glass window with 13 different jams for Jesus + apostles, but that's a bit expensive (I did it that way the first year and ended up eat jam until the following year). Nice with whipped cream!

Om nom! What an excellent idea putting in different flavours in different compartments of the design. \

Hmmmmm.

Ha! Yes, it's very simple but very tasty! :)

I was thinking about your annual Epiphany tart at work today and hoping there was going to be another this year. I'm so glad to see there is ^___^

The colours of the jams are so effective together. Very pretty as well as tasty ^__^

Nice to uphold a tradition!

Yes, if you knew how long it took me decide on those three. The raspberry I already had but I had to do an equations with factors of colour, flavour I like, and what was available at the shop. It took a while but I was happy with the combination.

This looks so delicious. I'm trying not to imagine how the different jams taste on their own and mixed together....

Thanks! It is good. I usually eat it topped with whipped cream :)
