Looks great! Is balsamic glaze just reduced balsamic vinegar and is the measurement tsp or Tbsp?

Thank you! Tbsp and I bought the balsamic vinegar glass ready. In Italy it is very easy to find it. I guess you can simply use balsamic vinegar

This looks so dark and interesting! Great preparation photos too. I notice you put the covered tart into the fridge before cooking. I haven't come across that technique. It seems to have worked really well.

Looks very scrummy @Sandra..
the Radicchio in this period is very popular, in fact I am also making extensive use! And Radicchio is so good and versatle!

It is so dark because of the balsamic vinegar that is caramelized with honey.
It was my first tarte tatin and I read about this technique but next time I'll try not to put it in the fridge to understand the difference. Anyway it worked well!

What does scrummy mean? What a struggle all in English

I perfectly agree with you about radicchio!

What does scrummy mean?

Scrummy is slang or an abbreviation of scrumptious which is basically "delizioso".

@Sandra can you please tell me what Speck is. I have absolutely no idea, sorry.

@Sandra can you please tell me what Speck is. I have absolutely no idea, sorry.

The speck is a typical cured meat of Trentino Alto Adige (South Tyrol). It is a smoked ham. You could replace it with bacon but it does not taste the same
