Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups dried currants
1/4 cup ruby Port
1/2 15-ounce package All Ready Pie Crusts (1 crust)
2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
Whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine currants and Port in small bowl. Let stand 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, Preheat oven to 400°F. Press out crust on lightly floured work surface to remove creases. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Line crust with aluminum foil. Fill foil-lined crust with dried beans or pie weights and bake 10 minutes. Remove foil and beans from crusts. Bake crust until pale golden, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to rack. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
  • Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in medium bowl until combined. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Stir in currant mixture. Spoon filling into crust. Bake until filling is golden brown, covering edges with foil if browning too quickly, about 25 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool 15 minutes. Remove tart from pan. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature. Pass whipped cream if desired.

This tart is a bit too tart for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I would recommend using a sweeter variety of currants.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tart turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

I had some trouble getting the crust to come together, but the tart still turned out delicious. I'll definitely be making it again.

This tart is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly and my tart turned out beautifully. The only thing I would change is to use a bit less sugar in the filling.
