BLUEBERRY TART

Category: Tarts

Pastry:
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 stick cold unsalted butter
4 tbsp ice water

Filling
3 cups blueberries
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup raspberry preserves
2 tbsp confectioners sugar

Sift flour, salt, and sugar together into a bowl. Cut butter into small pieces and blend into flour until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle ice water into flour, 1 tbsp at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gather dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Place blueberries and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Remove blueberries with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reduce juice and sugar until slightly thickened. Return blueberries to pan, remove from heat, and set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 375. Roll out pastry 1/4-inch thick on a floured surface, and place it in a 9 inch tart pan. Prick all over with a fork, cover with foil, weight with dried beans, and bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely. Spread raspberry preserves over cooled tart shell and spoon blueberries over top. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
