Quick 'n Easy Strawberry Orange Tart

bluemoon downunder's Note:

Another Sainsbury's recipe, I found on Jamie Oliver's website, suitable for those occasions when you can plan ahead enough to have the ingredients on hand, but when time is of the essence and you are looking for a shortcut recipe to serving an elegant-looking and delicious tart.

I followed the recipe almost exactly, but this didn't work for me. I only used half the orange zest, but it was still overpowering. And my creme fraiche must have been thinner than desirable, because the berries sunk into it - serving was a mess. Sorry -
