Steps:
- For Crust: In large mixing bowl, mix the flour, ground almonds, brown sugar and salt together. Rub the butter pieces into the flour mixture. Add the ice water and gently knead until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and form in flat disc about 1-inch thick. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Sprinkle flour on the countertop and roll out the dough to an even thickness, round shape. Place dough round in a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Fold any edges inside, forming a thicker crust. Leave the dough a bit longer than the edges of the tart pan to allow for shrinking during cooking. Line the inside of the crust with parchment paper or foil. Pour in the beans, filling to the edges. Bake about 20 minutes, or until bottom begins to look cooked. Let cool. Remove the beans and foil.
- For Tart: Toss the berries with the flour, salt, sugar, butter, and lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir in the brown sugar. Place the fruit in a saute pan over medium heat and cook just until a sauce is formed. Place the fruit in the baked crust and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the fruit bubbles and juice thickens.
- Remove from oven and cool for 2 hours before slicing.

Steps:
- Special equipment: a 9-inch springform pan
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
- Combine 1 cup of the flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and the salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some large lumps. Add the egg yolks and pulse until blended.
- Place the dough in the springform pan, and press it evenly against the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides. Toss 2 1/2 cups of the berries, the lemon zest, juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, remaining 1 tablespoon flour and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Pour the berry mixture into the shell and bake until vigorously bubbling, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and immediately top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups blueberries.
- Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar by tapping it through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries and blackberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh berries, frozen berries will also work.
- Don't overwork the dough. If you overwork it, the crust will be tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the fruit. This will help prevent the fruit from tearing.
- Don't overfill the tart. If you overfill it, the filling will spill out of the tart when you bake it.
- Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the tart cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set.
- Serve the tart with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
Conclusion:
This blueberry blackberry rustic tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart filling is perfectly complemented by the flaky crust. This tart is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
