- Cranberry Crumb Tart
-
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) cold butter, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups fresh cranberries (about two 12-ounce bags)
- Prebaked Tart Shell
-
- Preheat the oven to 375F. In a large bowl, combine the flour and 1 3/4
- cups of the sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse
- meal. Continue cutting until the mixture forms nickel sized clumps that
- crumble easily.
-
- In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the salt. Add
- the cranberries and toss to coat well.
-
- Spon the cranberries into the Prebaked Tart Shell, mounding them slightly
- in the center. Using your fingers, lightly squeeze pieces of the crumb
- topping and drop them gently over the berries (do not press the topping
- into the fruit).
-
- Bake until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around
- the edge, about 40 minutes. Serve at room temperature.

- Prebaked Tart Shell
-
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 stick (4 ounces) cold butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ice water
-
- Put the flour in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture
- resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and salt
- in the water. Sprinkle over the flour mixture, tossing until the
- dough begins to mass together.
-
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and form it into a ball.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and flatten into a 6 inch disk. Refrigerate for
- at least 30 minutes.
-
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large round,
- 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Trim to a 15 inch circle. Dust the dough lightly
- with the flour and fold into quarters. Place it, with the point in the
- center, in a 9 1/2 or 10 inch tart pan, about 1 inch high, with a removable
- bottom. Open up the pastry and fit into the pan, folding down the excess
- to reinforce the sides. Press the pastry against the fluted sides of the
- pan; trim off any excess dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
- for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
-
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Line the pastry with foil and fill with pie
- weights or dried beans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry
- is almost dry. Remove the foil and weights, prick the bottom and sides
- all over with a fork, and continue baking for 5 to 8 minutes, or until
- the crust is golden brown.
