Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups (5 1/4 ounces) fresh cranberries
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon water
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Pate Sucree for Cranberry, Almond, and Cinnamon Tart
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
8 ounces cranberry jam or preserves
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) whole almonds, finely ground in a food processor
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Put fresh cranberries, 1/3 cup sugar, and the water into a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring to dissolve sugar, until cranberries have just softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool completely.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle, 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to an 8-by-2-inch springform pan, pressing crust into bottom and up sides. Trim excess flush with rim. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prick tart crust all over with a fork. Cut a 12-inch round of parchment, and place on top of chilled crust. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove weights and parchment, and brush crust lightly with egg white. Return to oven, and bake until pale golden, about 25 minutes. Refrigerate remaining egg white. Let crust cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  • Raise oven temperature to 375 degrees. Spread jam over bottom of tart crust.
  • Beat butter and remaining 1/2 cup sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to medium. Slowly add ground almonds, cinnamon, and salt, and beat until just combined. Spread mixture over jam-covered crust.
  • Bake tart until filling is set and has darkened slightly, 45 to 50 minutes. (If top darkens too quickly, cover loosely with foil.)

CRANBERRY-ALMOND SHORTBREAD TART image

Yield 8 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

For Filling
1 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
12 oz. fresh or thawed frozen cranberries (about 3 cups)
3 Tbs. apricot jam
For Pastry
3-1/2 oz. (1 cup) sliced almonds
9 oz. (2 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
1-3/4 oz. (1/4 cup plus 2 Tbs.) fine yellow cornmeal
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
8 oz. (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into 16 pieces and softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 Tbs. packed finely grated lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)
3/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. pure almond extract
1 large egg yolk
Cooking spray
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the filling Combine the sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water in a 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar, about 2 minutes. Add the cranberries and lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the cranberries have popped and the liquid is syrupy, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the apricot jam and simmer until the jam melts, about 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Make the shortbread Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F. Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until warm and fragrant but not yet brown, about 5 minutes; let cool completely. In a food processor, combine the nuts with 2 Tbs. of the flour. Pulse until very fine but not powdery, 20 to 25 short pulses. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the remaining flour, the cornmeal, and salt. In the food processor, combine the butter, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, and almond extract. Pulse until creamy, 10 to 20 short pulses. Add the egg yolk and pulse a few times to combine. Add the dry ingredients and pulse, scraping down the sides as necessary, just until a soft dough forms, 30 to 40 short pulses. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic and divide. Using 9 1/2 x1-inch fluted metal tart pan, press half of the dough evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Form the remaining dough into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate the dough and the tart shell until very firm, at least 30 minutes. Prick the bottom of the tart shell all over with a fork, bake on baking sheet until firm, dry, and just starting to turn golden brown around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes. Spoon Spoon the filling into the tart and spread evenly. Crumble the remaining shortbread dough over the cranberries in pebble-like pieces. Bake until the topping is firm and golden-brown 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart and juicy flavor that is perfect for this tart. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Toast the almonds. Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast the almonds in a toaster oven or on a baking sheet in a preheated oven.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry. The puff pastry is the base of the tart, so it's important to use a good quality puff pastry. Look for a puff pastry that is made with real butter and has a flaky texture.
  • Don't overcook the tart. The tart is done when the crust is golden brown and the cranberries are soft. If you overcook the tart, the crust will be dry and the cranberries will be mushy.

Conclusion:

This cranberry almond tart is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tart is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy bakers. The tart is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for dessert.
