Diamond Walnut and Blue Cheese Tart With Cranberries image

I love blue cheese and cranberries. This is DELICIOUS and I make it every Christmas. Got it from a "Diamond" ad in a 2002 magazine. (To say that the filling of this pie, that has blue cheese, tastes like "stuffing" is beyond me...)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup flour
2/3 cup walnuts, ground

This tart is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The cranberries add a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, but I thought I'd give this tart a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The blue cheese flavor is subtle and not overpowering, and it really complements the other flavors in the tart.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tart didn't turn out at all like the picture. It was a complete disaster.

This tart was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I won't be making it again.

Overall, I thought this tart was pretty good. It's not my favorite, but I would definitely make it again if I had the ingredients on hand.

I had some trouble getting the crust to come together. I think I might have needed to add a little more water.

This tart is a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This tart was a huge hit at my dinner party! The combination of sweet cranberries, salty blue cheese, and crunchy walnuts was divine. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was perfectly creamy. I will definitely be making this again.
