PECAN CRANBERRY TART

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly toast pecans in a shallow baking pan in middle of oven until fragrant but not darker, about 5 minutes, then cool. Leave oven on.
- Cook 1/2 cup sugar in a dry 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork (to help sugar melt evenly), until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel. Tilt pan and carefully add corn syrup (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved.
- Remove pan from heat and add butter, stirring until melted, then cool caramel until it stops bubbling. Whisk together eggs, salt, vanilla, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar, then add caramel in a stream, whisking constantly. 3Spread pecans and cranberries evenly in tart shell and pour caramel over them, tapping pecans and cranberries down to coat thoroughly. Bake tart in middle of oven until filling is set, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack before removing rim of pan.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter, tarter flavor than frozen cranberries. If you're using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the cranberries: Overcooked cranberries will become mushy. Cook them just until they start to pop, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a good quality tart dough: The tart dough is the foundation of the tart, so it's important to use a good quality dough. You can use a store-bought dough or make your own.
- Blind bake the tart dough: Blind baking the tart dough will help to prevent it from becoming soggy. To blind bake the dough, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the tart pan with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the dough for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
- Let the tart cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the tart from falling apart.
Conclusion:
This popped cranberry tart is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for the holiday season. The tart cranberries and creamy filling are a perfect combination, and the buttery tart dough is the perfect finishing touch. With a little planning, this tart is easy to make and sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
