Custard Tart With Peach And Bourbon Jam Recipe 485

PEACH CUSTARD TART

Steps:

• Remove tart shells cases from the package.
• Drain peaches, reserve juice and slice 12 peaches in half lengthwise and reserve remaining peaches for another use.
• Place tart shells on a tray.
• Place custard and reserved juice in a small heavy based saucepan and cook and stir over a moderately low heat until heated.
• Mix cornflour with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl and stir into custard and cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture boils and thickens.
• Transfer to a heatproof jug and cover surface directly with baking paper (prevents custard forming skin) and then chill, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes (custard will thicken on cooling).
• Spoon cooled custard into tart shells cases and arrange 2 peach slices on top of custard and chill for 30 minutes.
• Carefully brush tart tops with jam and then chill for 5 minutes and then serve.

PEACH CUSTARD TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the crust: Pulse the flour, almonds, sugar and salt in a food processor until the nuts are finely ground. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the ice water and pulse until the dough starts coming together.
• Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, pat into a disk and wrap in the plastic. Refrigerate until cold but still malleable, about 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, make your curd filling: Combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan and whisk to combine. Stir in the peach nectar, egg yolks and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the filling thickens and coats the back of a spoon; this will take 5 to 7 minutes after it comes to a simmer.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, a tablespoon at a time. Strain the filling into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and chill completely, about 1 hour.
• While your filling is chilling, lightly spray four 5-inch tart pans with removable bottoms with nonstick cooking spray. Divide your chilled tart dough into 4 pieces, then press into the bottom and up the sides of each prepared pan. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes. Use a paring knife to trim any excess dough.
• Place the tart shells on a baking sheet, line each shell with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and continue baking until the crusts are golden brown all over, 5 to 10 more minutes. Let cool completely.
• Divide the chilled curd/custard among the tart shells. Put back into the refrigerator while you make the meringue.
• In the meantime, make your meringue: Add the sugar and water to a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then once at a boil, cook for 4 minutes.
• While your sugar is cooking, put your egg whites, cream of tartar and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on low speed. When the sugar mixture on the stovetop comes to a boil, turn the mixer to high speed.
• When the sugar syrup is ready, turn the mixer to medium-low speed. Pour the syrup in a steady stream in between the side of the bowl and the whisk attachment while the mixer is running. Turn the mixer to high and beat for 2 full minutes. Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with desired tip.
• Pipe decorative designs with the meringue on the tarts. Use a pastry torch to brown. Garnish with basil leaves and serve.

CUSTARD POPOVERS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Generously grease 10 muffin cups or 6 custard cups with shortening. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour and salt. Add eggs, milk, and melted butter or margarine. Beat with a rotary beater or a wire whisk till smooth, about 2 minutes. Divide batter evenly between muffin or custard cups. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake 20 minutes longer. Turn off oven and let stand in warm oven for 10 minutes to become more crisp. Serve hot. In a sauce pan put sugar, salt and flour and mix well. Gradually add milk and mix well. Beat egg yolks separately and add to the mixture. Slowly bring to boil stirring constantly until thickened. Add butter and stir. Let it cool to room temperature or in a refrigerator. Add evaporated milk , vanilla, and brandy. Whip the mixture with mixer. Cut tops if necessary and fill popovers with custard just before serving.

CUSTARD TART WITH PEACH AND BOURBON JAM RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C. Rub together sifted flour and salt, plus lemon zest and butter until it forms crumbs. Whisk together the egg and the egg yolk, then add to the flour along with the sugar and combine into a smooth ball. Wrap in plastic and rest in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Line a greased tart tin with baking paper and place on an oven tray. On a flour dusted surface, roll the pastry out to an even thickness. Carefully lift and line the tray, before rolling your pin over the edges to cut to fit. Gently prick the base a few times with a fork, before filling with baking weights and cooking in the centre of the oven until golden brown - 10-15 minutes. Remove weights and leave to cool. Reduce the oven to 130C and begin making the custard. Bring the cream to a boil. In a mixing bowl beat the yolks and sugar together, then add the cream and mix well. Pour through a sieve into a clean jug, then fill pastry case to the brim. Grate the nutmeg evenly over, then very carefully return to the oven for a further 30-40 minutes until the custard is just set. Leave to cool. To make the jam, place the bourbon and conserve into a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Stir continuously until combined, then reduce for a few minutes until thickened. Allow both the tart and the jam to reach room temperature before serving. *Egg whites may be frozen and used at a later date to make meringues, macaroons, omelettes, soufflés and marshmallows, as well as added to classic cocktails such as the amaretto sour & gin fizz!
