Yield Makes 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 cups fresh kumquats (1 1/2 lb with leaves; 1 lb without)
1 cup water
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly toasted
2/3 cup ricotta
1/3 cup sour cream
1 (12- to 13-inch) baked sweet tart shell
Special equipment:
Special equipment: an electric coffee/spice grinder

Steps:

Thinly slice kumquats crosswise with a sharp knife, discarding seeds.
Bring water and 2 cups sugar to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then simmer syrup, uncovered, 5 minutes. Stir in kumquats and simmer gently 10 minutes. Drain and cool kumquats in a sieve set over a bowl, then return drained syrup to pan and boil until reduced to about 11/3 cups, 3 to 5 minutes.
Finely grind fennel seeds in coffee/spice grinder, then transfer to a bowl and whisk together with ricotta, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt just until ricotta is slightly smoother. Whisk in sour cream until just combined and spread evenly over bottom of tart shell.
Arrange kumquats as evenly as possible over ricotta using your fingers or a small spoon, separating slices as necessary with a skewer, then brush kumquats with some of reduced syrup.
Remove side of tart pan.

Tips:

To easily zest the kumquat, use a microplane grater.
If you don't have a food processor, you can mix the pastry dough by hand. Just be sure to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
When rolling out the pastry dough, work quickly so that it doesn't get too warm. If the dough is too warm, it will be difficult to handle and will tear easily.
Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the tart. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked evenly.
To prevent the filling from bubbling over, use a pastry blind. A pastry blind is a piece of parchment paper that is placed over the filling before baking. This will help to absorb any excess moisture.
Let the tart cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and will make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This kumquat pastry tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tart crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is sweet and tangy. The kumquat glaze adds a beautiful finishing touch to the tart. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just as a everyday treat, this kumquat pastry tart is sure to be a hit.
