Categories     Desserts     Pies     Tarts     Fruit Tart Recipes

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
4 egg yolks, at room temperature
1 egg, at room temperature
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
1 cup white sugar
1 large orange, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  • Combine flour, sugar, ginger, and salt for crust in a small bowl. Mix in melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract until mixture is combined and comes together in a thick dough.
  • Press dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Place the tart pan on a large baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Beat egg yolks and egg together in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Set aside.
  • Combine cranberries and sugar in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until cranberries pop and sugar is dissolved, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour mixture into a blender. Add orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Leave the lid vent open on the blender; do not seal without having a way to steam to vent, and cover the lid with a kitchen towel.
  • Blend on low speed until mixture is smooth and thoroughly pureed. Pour the warm mixture gradually into the eggs, whisking constantly.
  • Pour curd back into the saucepan and cook over low heat until mixture is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until thoroughly combined, ensuring each piece of butter has thoroughly melted before adding the next. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Discard solids. Pour strained curd into the prepared crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until curd is set around the edges and jiggles slightly in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature before removing from the tart pan, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Provided by Lauren Perkins-Boyd

Categories     Spreads

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large orange
2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 c sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp melted butter
2 large eggs
2 c fresh cranberries, chopped
HONEY BUTTER
1 stick butter, softened
2 Tbsp honey
1/8 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 9" by 5" metal loaf pan. From orange, grate 1 tsp of peel and squeeze 1/2 cup of juice.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • 3. In a small bowl, beat orange peel, juice, melted butter, and egg until blended.
  • 4. With a wooden spoon, stir egg mixture into flour mixture just until blended (batter will be stiff). Stir in cranberries.
  • 5. Pour batter into a greased and floured pan.
  • 6. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 50-55 minutes. Cool loaf in pan for 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • 7. For honey butter, whip together butter, honey, and cinnamon until completely combine and fluffy.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your bread will taste. If you can, use fresh cranberries and oranges. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help the bread rise evenly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help the bread hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This tart cranberry orange bread is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness. The cranberries and oranges add a pop of color and flavor that makes this bread irresistible.
