Sallys Fresh Blackberry Tart Recipes

BLACKBERRY TART RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 Fahrenheit.
• Prebake the 9 inch or 9.5 inch tart crust at 400 Fahrenheit for 20 or 30 minutes according to my super detailed tutorial how to make tart crust shell from scratch. Let the tart shell cool slightly.
• In a bowl, toss 4 cups of blackberries, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Combine thoroughly.
• Spoon this mixture into the cooled tart shell. Top with the remaining 1 cup of blackberries. Sprinkle 1 or 2 tablespoons white sugar over the berries, and then sprinkle thinly chopped cold butter on top, too.
• Place the tart on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch any juices) and bake for 30-40 minutes at 350 F until filling starts to bubble. If crust starts to brown too much, place a piece of aluminum foil over the tart.
• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt and egg. Press the dough onto the bottom and 1½ inches up sides of a 9 inch springform pan with a removable bottom.
• Chill the crust for 10 to 15 minutes. Then bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool and release the sides of the pan.
• In a large saucepan, crush the berries with the back of a large spoon. Add the sugar, cornstarch and salt and mix well.
• Heat over medium heat until thickened and clear.
• Arrange the fresh berries in the baked shell and sprinkle the 2 tablespoons sugar over the top.
• Pour the glaze over all the fresh berries and chill for at least 1 hour.
• Cut into wedges and serve with sweetened whipped cream or softened vanilla ice cream, if desired.

BLACKBERRY FINANCIER

Steps:

• In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. The butter will separate into melted golden fat and white, grainy milk solids. Cook until the milk solids turn golden brown and the mixture smells like toasted nuts, making "beurre noisette". Strain through a fine sieve to remove the milk solids.
• Sift the dry ingredients together and place in a mixer fitted with a whip attachment. Add the egg whites, applesauce and strained beurre noisette and mix. The batter can be made to this point up to 3 days in advance. Keep refrigerated. When ready to bake, butter tiny rectangular or round tart molds and cut the blackberries in half, top to bottom. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip and pipe into the prepared molds. Place 1/2 of a blackberry in the center of each mold, cut side down. Bake for 10 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool in the molds, then gently lift the cakes out. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

Steps:

• For Crust: In large mixing bowl, mix the flour, ground almonds, brown sugar and salt together. Rub the butter pieces into the flour mixture. Add the ice water and gently knead until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and form in flat disc about 1-inch thick. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle flour on the countertop and roll out the dough to an even thickness, round shape. Place dough round in a 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Fold any edges inside, forming a thicker crust. Leave the dough a bit longer than the edges of the tart pan to allow for shrinking during cooking. Line the inside of the crust with parchment paper or foil. Pour in the beans, filling to the edges. Bake about 20 minutes, or until bottom begins to look cooked. Let cool. Remove the beans and foil.
• For Tart: Toss the berries with the flour, salt, sugar, butter, and lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir in the brown sugar. Place the fruit in a saute pan over medium heat and cook just until a sauce is formed. Place the fruit in the baked crust and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the fruit bubbles and juice thickens.
• Remove from oven and cool for 2 hours before slicing.
