For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 1:20 (NIV)
Every promise God has made finds its fulfillment in Christ. Because Jesus died and rose again, we know that God keeps every promise. No promise is too big; everything God has promised will be done exactly as He said. We can read the Bible and see God’s promise-keeping through the ages, and know that God has not changed – He is still faithful to every promise.
Studio Update
Just a few snippets of my in-progress pieces. Some clematis, snapdragons and larkspur in a very purple bouquet. A summer tree landscape and my “plein air” painting supplies… of course, the weather was cold and damp the day I had planned to go out painting so I painted the geraniums in the shelter of the greenhouse instead.
Mini Raspberry Tarts
For the crust:
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup cold butter
- 6-8 Tbsp ice water
For the filling:
- 4 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 3/4 cup sugar, divided (can use less if raspberries are sweeter)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
For the crust, in a large bowl, whisk together flour and sugar. Cut cold butter into flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Lightly mix in cold water 1 Tbsp at a time until dough begins to stick together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 1h (or longer).
For the filling, in a small bowl whisk together part of the sugar and cornstarch and set aside. In a large skillet, mix raspberries and remaining sugar. Cook on medium low heat until raspberries have released their juices. Add the sugar and cornstarch mixture and cook over low heat until mixture has thickened.
To assemble the tarts, divide the crust into 48 one-inch balls. Use a floured wooden tart tamper to squish the dough up the edges of each mini muffin cup. Spoon a small amount of filling into each muffin cup. There should be barely enough filling to fill each shell.
Bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden.
