BLOOD ORANGE CARAMEL TARTE TATIN
I never had blood oranges until I moved to California. Their growing season is pretty short, so I use them in everything I possibly can. Whenever I have something to go to, my friends demand that I bring this dessert. The sweet orange flavor pairs perfectly with brown sugar and looks so lovely. -Pamela Butkowski, Hermosa Beach, California

Steps:
- For orange curd:
- Whisk sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, eggs, egg yolks, and orange peel in medium metal bowl to blend. Add butter; set bowl over saucepan of simmering water and whisk constantly until curd thickens and instant-read thermometer inserted into curd registers 175°F, about 12 minutes (do not boil). Remove bowl from over water. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of curd; chill at least 1 day and up to 3 days.
- For crust:
- Blend flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter and cut in, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cream and egg yolk and process until dough clumps together. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Roll out dough on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 10-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Fold dough overhang in and press onto pan sides, forming double-thick sides. Pierce crust all over with fork; freeze 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake crust until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Cool crust completely in pan on rack. Spread curd evenly in cooled crust. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
- Cut peel and white pith from oranges. Using small sharp knife, cut between membranes to release orange segments. Transfer segments to paper towels and pat dry. Arrange orange segments in concentric circles atop orange curd. Chill tart up to 1 hour.
- Remove pan sides. Cut tart into wedges. Drizzle lightly with Orange Caramel Sauce and serve.

Steps:
- Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Combine flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Add cold butter and pulse several more times until the mixture resembles coarse sand; mixture will be very crumbly. Pour mixture into the prepared tart pan. Use damp hands to press crumbs together evenly along the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form a crust. Use a fork to gently prick the bottom of the crust several times. Place crust in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Remove crust from freezer and place it on a cookie sheet. Line the crust with aluminum foil and fill with dried beans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crust begins to turn golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove beans and aluminum foil. Return crust to the oven and bake until center of crust is set, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Meanwhile whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a large heat-safe bowl. Mix in blood orange juice, eggs, egg yolk, and zest until smooth. Bring a pot of water to a low simmer. Place bowl with blood orange mixture over the pot of simmering water, making sure bowl does not touch water. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and stir in butter a piece at a time, ensuring each piece melts before adding the next. Pour custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the prepared crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow tart to cool to room temperature before removing from pan, about 30 minutes.
- Chill tart for about 3 hours. Top with blood orange slices before serving.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, ripe blood oranges. If you can't find blood oranges, you can use regular oranges, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Be careful not to overcook the caramel. It should be a deep amber color, but not burnt.
- If you don't have a tarte Tatin pan, you can use a regular pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the puff pastry so that it fits inside the pan.
- Serve the tarte Tatin warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Blood orange caramel tarte Tatin is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its vibrant colors and sweet-tart flavor, it is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this tarte Tatin a try.
