Time 3h

Yield 8-3 inch tarts

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 egg yolks
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup currant jelly
1 orange, zested
1 pound cranberries

Steps:

  • Nut Crust: Mix butter, sugar, pecans, whole egg, egg yolk, and salt with a wooden spoon until barely blended. Add flour and knead until a small ball forms. Wrap in plastic and chill about 4 hours.
  • After chilling dough, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness or divide into 8 parts and press into 8 individual tart pans, 3-inch round x 1 inch deep. The crust should be thick.
  • Bake empty tart shells 12 to 15 minutes, or until edges begin to brown. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile make pastry cream, and prepare berries.
  • Pastry Cream: Mix 1/4 cup sugar and cornstarch in a bowl until smooth. Add egg yolks and mix until a paste is formed. Stir in 1/2 cup milk.
  • Combine remaining milk and sugar in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Pour hot mixture into mixture in bowl, whisking constantly. Pour back into pan.
  • Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and thick. Remove from heat and stir an additional minute. Stir in vanilla and transfer to a bowl. Cover with buttered parchment paper touching top and chill a minimum of 2 hours or as long as 2 days.
  • Cranberries: Combine sugar, jelly and orange zest in sauce pan and boil until thick, about 5 minutes. Fold in cranberries, and cook another 1 or 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool, then assemble tart.
  • To Assemble: Spread prepared nut crust with a layer of chilled pastry cream and top with cooled cranberries. Serve chilled.

This tart is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's definitely worth the effort. The results are stunning and the taste is amazing.

I added a little bit of orange zest to the cranberries and it really enhanced the flavor. I would definitely recommend adding orange zest if you're looking for a little extra something.

I made this tart with a gluten-free crust and it turned out great! The crust was just as flaky and buttery as the regular crust.

This tart is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I had a bag of cranberries that I didn't know what to do with, and this tart was the perfect solution.
