BLUEBERRY-BLACKBERRY RUSTIC TART
My dad would always stop our car on the side of the road in Maine and say, "I smell blueberries." He had a pail ready. Then Mom would bake the wild berries in a cornmeal crust to make this homey tart. -Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

RUSTIC FRUIT TART
My husband and I love pie, but we can't eat a whole 9-inch pie by ourselves. So I make these easy tarts using rhubarb and raspberries picked at home. Sometimes I substitute apples, peaches or our garden blueberries for the rhubarb. -Naomi Olson Hamilton, Michigan

RUSTIC BERRY TART
From EatingWell: Summer 2004, The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook (2005). The secret to this free-form tart is the layer of ground almonds under the berries: it thickens the juices, prevents a soggy crust and delivers an exquisite background flavor for the intense berries. Exchanges: 2 other carbohydrate, 1 fat (2 Carbohydrate Serving). NOTE: Prep time includes 1 hour refrigeration time.

Steps:
- TO PREPARE CRUST:.
- Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar and salt in a medium bowl.
- Cut in butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few larger pieces.
- Add oil and stir with a fork to blend.
- Mix 1/4 cup water, egg yolk and 1 teaspoon lemon juice (or vinegar) in a measuring cup.
- Add just enough of the egg yolk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork, until the dough clumps together. (Add a little water if the dough seems too dry.)
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead several times.
- Form the dough into a ball, then flatten into a disk.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 425°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and coat with cooking spray.
- TO PREPARE FILLING AND ASSEMBLE TART:.
- Spread almonds in a small baking pan. Bake until light golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
- Combine whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup sugar (or Splenda) and the toasted almonds in a food processor or blender; process until the almonds are ground.
- Roll the dough into a rough 13- to 14-inch circle on a lightly floured surface, about 1/4 inch thick. Roll it back over the rolling pin, brush off excess flour, and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the almond mixture over the pastry, leaving a 2-inch border all around.
- Toss berries with the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar (or Splenda) and 2 teaspoons lemon juice in a large bowl; spoon over the almond mixture.
- Fold the border up and over the filling, pleating as necessary.
- Blend the reserved egg white and 1 tablespoon water with a fork; brush lightly over the tart rim. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar.
- Bake the tart for 15 minutes at 425°F.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake until the crust is golden and the juices are bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Leaving the tart on the parchment (or foil), carefully slide it onto a wire rack. Let cool.
- Shortly before serving, melt jam in a small saucepan over low heat; brush over the berries.
- Cut the tart into wedges and serve.
- MAKE AHEAD TIP: Prepare crust through Step 1; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- INGREDIENT NOTE: Whole-wheat pastry flour is milled from soft wheat. It contains less gluten than regular whole-wheat flour and helps ensure a tender result in delicate baked goods while providing the nutritional benefits of whole grains. Available in large supermarkets and in natural-foods stores. Store in the freezer.
- TIP: To separate eggs safely: Use an egg separator, an inexpensive gadget found in cookware stores; separating eggs by passing the yolk back and forth between pieces of eggshell or your hands can expose the eggs to bacteria.
RUSTIC SUMMER PEACH BERRY TART
This tart is not only pleasing to the eye but the taste buds as well. The crust is meant to be hand-crimped in a rustic fashion, so don't worry about perfection. I used peaches, strawberries and blueberries, but good substitutes for the berries would be raspberries or blackberries. A sprinkling of powdered sugar atop this tart makes for elegant presentation. Preparation time does not include cooling time.

Steps:
- Pastry:.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour and sugar.
- Thoroughly cut in cubed butter until mixture resembles pea-sized crumbles.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks and ice water.
- Slowly add yolk mixture to flour mixture, working with hands to form a smooth ball. If the mixture doesn't form into a ball easily, drizzle more ice water a little at a time until desired texture.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes or until able to be worked with more easily.
- Filling:.
- In a medium-large bowl, thoroughly combine all ingredients except powdered sugar. If the mixture is too juicy, add 1 teaspoons at a time of additional flour as desired. Don't use too much flour, as the filling will become too starchy and gummy.
- Tart:.
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- On a large baking sheet or pizza stone, sprinkle a pinch of flour and roll out pastry dough into a 16-inch circle.
- Spread filling evenly onto pastry, leaving 1 1/2-inch dry outside edge.
- Carefully pull up edge of pastry and fold up over outside edge of filling, gently crimping with fingers all around tart. Remember, it is meant to look rustic, so don't worry about perfection.
- Brush edges of pastry with melted butter.
- Bake at 375 F for 30-45 minutes or until pastry is lightly browned and filling is set.
- Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
- Sprinkle top of tart with powdered sugar.
- Slice into eighths and serve warm.
