A refreshing favorite, these tarts are a creative alternative to classic lemon tarts. Crunchy shortbread shells are made with European butter and Madagascar vanilla, then baked until golden and glazed with an apricot syrup. The shells are filled with homemade tangy orange curd, then topped with sweet vanilla meringue and slightly torched. Edible candied violet petals provide the finishing touch.
