GERMAN FRESH FRUIT TORTE
Steps:
- Sprinkle or brush cake base lightly with fruit schnapps , liqueur, or sugar syrup to moisten but not douse.
- Prepare pudding according to directions for pie filling. Look at the following recipes if you would like to make vanilla pudding from scratch or if you would like to make pastry cream . If it is cooked, then cool until thickened. If it is instant, let it set a few minutes. Spoon into purchased sponge cake base and chill (Note: the German sponge cakes have a lip to hold in the pudding and fruit. They are baked in a special mold).
- Wash and prepare fresh fruit. Cut strawberries in half, peel and slice kiwi, etc. Arrange fruit decoratively on top of the pudding. You can also overlap sliced fruit if you wish. Place cake back in the refrigerator while you make the glaze.
- In Germany, you can buy tortenguss or cake glaze, which you simply mix with water. You can also order it online. If you don't have access to this product, it is easy to make a glaze which helps hold the fruit on the cake and seals in the fruit, so that it stays fresher, longer. It can be made with agar or gelatin, and sometimes cornstarch.
- To make the glaze shown here, sprinkle the package of gelatin over cold apple juice and let it swell for five minutes. Add 3/4 cup hot apple juice (plus one or two tablespoons sugar, as desired), stirring constantly until gelatin is dissolved. You may need to heat this mixture slightly but do not bring it to a boil or the gelatin loses the ability to gel. Place this mixture in the refrigerator until it starts to thicken.
- Pour, spoon, or brush the glaze over the cake. Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour and make sure the glaze has set before serving.
MOM'S FRUIT FLAN (GERMAN ERDBEER/OBST BODEN TORTE)
The dough is a little like a sugar cookie dough and doesn't get soggy with the fruit. Fill with fresh strawberries or your favorite fruit (my personal favorite is an assortment of sliced peaches, cherries, kiwis, and fresh strawberries arranged over a thin layer of custard topped with a clear jelly glaze, served with a dollop of whipped cream). Mom's favorite was simply fresh sliced strawberries with strawberry glaze, and whipped cream on the side. Delicious!! A great seasonal dessert. You will need a 10 or 11 inch boden torte pan for this recipe. The boden recipe is adapted from "Mennonite Girls Can Cook", the filling is all mine.

Steps:
- For pastery: Makes one 9 inch (23 cm) tart shell Preheat oven to 210°C (410°F). Measure flour and set aside. Place a removable-base 9 inch tart tin on a baking sheet. Place all other ingredients - butter through salt - in a medium oven-proof bowl and place bowl in hot oven for 15 mins. Butter will bubble and just start to brown at edges. Remove bowl from oven, dump in flour and stir quickly with a long wooden spoon until dough pulls away from sides of bowl and forms a ball - do not touch bowl with your bare hands. Tip hot dough into the waiting tart pan and spread roughly across the base with a spatula. When cool enough to touch, use your fingers to press and spread evenly into tin and up sides - an off-set spatula is great here to get a really smooth base. Prick all over with fork and refrigerate for 5 mins to firm up slightly. Bake 15 mins until golden. Cool, fill and bake again as required. I highly recommend using it for this Drunken Chocolate Caramel Tart insanity. If using with a no-bake filling, simply bake the crust for a minute or two longer, then cool and fill. A better choice for the pastry: Directions for custard: Prep 15 min Cook 5 min Ready 20 min In a heavy saucepan, stir together the milk or half and half, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and egg. Stir together the remaining sugar and cornstarch; then stir them into the egg until smooth. When the milk comes to a boil, drizzle it into the bowl in a thin stream while mixing so that you do not cook the eggs. Return the mixture to the saucepan, and slowly bring to a boil, stirring constantly so the eggs don' t curdle or scorch on the bottom. When the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, remove from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla, mixing until the butter is completely blended in. Pour into a heat-proof container and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled before using. Cover with fruit ... in this case, drained canned peach slices and fresh blueberries. See below for other combinations. Other traditional fillings Make as above and finish by covering with a glaze. Or, brush tart with warmed apricot jam, cover with prepared fruit or berries, and spoon glaze over top.

Steps:
- Add vegetable shortening and sugar to scalded milk and stir to melt thoroughly.

- Place dough in a large, greased mixing bowl, and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Set aside in a warm, draft-free place to rise for 8 hours or overnight. The dough will be very spongy.
- Almost any kind of raw or poached fruit can be used, allowing 1 1/2 to 2 cups for each tart. The ingredients listed are suggested toppings. If necessary, drain the fruits well.
- Unsweetened fruit may benefit from 1/2 cup of sugar sprinkled over it and mixed well before the fruit is added to the tart.
- Using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar together until they are thick, pale yellow and form a ribbon. Add milk, flour and salt. Beat briefly to blend well. (See note.)
- Divide the dough in two. Roll out half the dough, and use it to line a lightly greased 9-inch pie pan. Arrange fruit on dough, and set aside for an hour or more for the dough to rise until double in bulk.
