Diamond Walnut and Blue Cheese Tart With Cranberries image

I love blue cheese and cranberries. This is DELICIOUS and I make it every Christmas. Got it from a "Diamond" ad in a 2002 magazine. (To say that the filling of this pie, that has blue cheese, tastes like "stuffing" is beyond me...)

I'm not a fan of blue cheese, but I loved this tart. The blue cheese flavor was not overpowering at all.

I didn't have any cranberries, so I used dried cherries instead. The tart was still delicious!

I'm allergic to walnuts, so I substituted pecans in this recipe. It turned out great! The pecans added a nice crunch and flavor to the tart.

This tart was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was runny. I don't know what went wrong.
