HEAVENLY BLUEBERRY TART
Mmm-this tart is bursting with the fresh flavor of blueberries! Not only do I bake berries with the crust, but I also top the tart with more just-picked fruit after I take it out of the oven. -Lyin Schramm, Berwick, Maine

Steps:
- Put the flour in a large bowl. Add the sugar and mix. Make a well in the center and place the butter and egg yolk in the well. Using your fingers, work the butter and egg yolk together until well combined, then work the butter-egg mixture into the flour-sugar mixture until combined but still loose. The dough will be crumbly, but when you squeeze a handful, it should hold together.
- Sprinkle the dough into a 10-inch pie or tart pan. Press the dough firmly and evenly onto the bottom and sides of the pan, making sure not to let the crust thicken at the corners. It should make a clean right angle where the sides meet the bottom. Chill the crust at least 30 minutes, or covered, up to 3 days. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake until light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before filling.
- Blueberry Bavarian Cream: Pick over the blueberries, setting aside the best ones to make a circle around the edge of the finished tart. (You'll need about 1 cup.) Heat the milk and vanilla bean in a saucepan over medium heat just until it boils. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside to infuse for 10 minutes. Combine the gelatin and water in a small bowl, and let dissolve, stirring occasionally, until no dry spots remain.
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly pour the still-hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. At 160 degrees, the mixture will give off a puff of steam. When the mixture reaches 180 degrees it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog. If you don't have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture. Run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough. When it is ready, quickly remove it from the heat.
- Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice water half way. Strain the mixture into a medium bowl to smooth it and remove the vanilla bean. Pour off 1 cup of this mixture (Anglaise) into a large bowl and set aside. Place the medium bowl containing the remainder of the mixture in the ice water and let cool, stirring often. Add the gelatin to the cup of hot Anglaise in the large bowl and mix until completely dissolved, creating a Bavarian cream. Working quickly, fold the larger amount of berries into the Bavarian cream and spoon the mixture into the center of the tart shell. Spread until smooth and even. Before the filling cools completely, arrange the reserved berries around the edge of the tart to form a rim. Chill at least 2 hours and serve in slices, pouring a bit of the Anglaise next to each side.

We make the shells for these tarts with packaged graham cracker crumbs to save time. If your brown sugar contains hard lumps, force it through a sieve before using. Otherwise, it won't dissolve in the filling.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with a baking sheet on middle rack.
- Stir together graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and butter in a bowl with a fork until combined well, then press mixture with your fingers and back of a spoon evenly and firmly onto bottom and up side of each tart pan. (If using ramekins, press mixture 3/4 inch up sides.)
- Put tart pans on preheated baking sheet and bake crusts until slightly darker, about 10 minutes, then cool 10 minutes on a rack. (Ramekins will need to cool an additional 5 minutes in refrigerator.) Gently push bottom of each tart pan to loosen crust, then invert crust onto your hand and place on a serving plate. (If using ramekins, leave crusts in ramekins.)
- While crusts cool, whisk together brown sugar, sour cream, and vanilla in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Beat cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, then add sour cream mixture and zest, beating until just combined well.
- Divide cream cheese filling among tart shells, spreading evenly, then top with blueberries and dust with confectioners sugar.

PEACH AND BLUEBERRY TART WITH CREAM CHEESE FILLING
Here's a new take on cheesecake, only easier and in tart form. The no-bake cream-cheese filling floats on a crisp and buttery press-in crust. Top it with thin peach wedges (peeled for a luxurious finish) and blueberries, both tossed in sugar, lemon, and salt to intensify their summery essence.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Beat butter with confectioners' sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low; add flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt and beat until just combined and crumbly (do not overmix). Press evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch square tart pan with a removable bottom. Dock bottom at 1-inch intervals with the tines of a fork. Freeze 15 minutes.
- Bake until golden brown and set, 30 to 33 minutes. Let cool completely. (Crust can be kept at room temperature, wrapped in plastic, for up to 3 days.)
- Beat together cream cheese, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon juice, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar on medium-high speed until creamy. With mixer running, slowly add cream and beat until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. (You should have about 2 cups.) Spread mixture into crust; refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, peel peaches, if desired; cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Transfer to a bowl and stir in berries and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Just before serving, spoon macerated fruit over tart and drizzle some of juice from bowl over it. Sprinkle with mint and serve, with any remaining fruit on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grind the granola in a blender or a food processor to make crumbs. Mix crumbs with butter and press into the bottom and sides of a nine-inch straight-sided tart pan or springform. The sides should come about one-and-a-fourth-inches high. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the sugar, beat eggs one at a time, the cream and vanilla. Pour this mixture into the prepared crumb-lined pan and bake for 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate at least two hours.
- Before serving spread the blueberries over the top of the cheese filling. Heat the jelly in a saucepan until dissolved, then spoon or brush it evenly over the berries to glaze them. Chill before serving.

Tips:
- For a creamier filling, use softened cream cheese. For a firmer filling, use cold cream cheese.
- To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a regular muffin tin. Just fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
- To make sure the tarts are set, insert a toothpick into the center of a tart. If it comes out clean, the tarts are done.
- For a glossy finish, brush the tarts with melted apricot preserves before serving.
