Time 2h

Yield Makes two 10-inch tarts

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried currants
1/2 cup dried apricots, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup cognac
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
4 ounces marzipan
1 large egg
Unsalted butter, room temperature, for pans and plastic wrap
Buttery Yeast Dough
All-purpose flour, for dusting

Steps:

  • Combine dried fruit, orange juice, cognac, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring; reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Let cool, 15 minutes.
  • Cut marzipan into chunks. In a food processor, puree marzipan, egg, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Butter two 10-inch tart pans with removable bottoms. Divide dough in half. Roll out one half (keep other half refrigerated) on a lightly floured surface to an 11-inch circle. Fit into bottom and up sides of a prepared pan. Fill with half of marzipan, then half of fruit mixture (or almonds for almond tart). Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Drape with buttered plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm spot until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Bake tarts, rotating pans once, until golden brown, about 20 minutes (15 minutes for almond tart). Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

This tart was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The crust was a bit too dry for my liking, but the filling was delicious. I would try using a different crust recipe next time.

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

I'm not a big fan of fruit tarts, but this one was really good. The crust was flaky and the filling was sweet and tangy.

This recipe is a keeper! The flavors of the fruit, almonds, and spices are perfectly balanced. I especially loved the crunchy almond crust.
