Cranberry Orange Tart

By , from the Culinate Kitchen collection

Introduction

Years ago, when I worked at Zefiro Restaurant in Portland, I often jotted down recipes on the back of guest checks to try at home. This one is from Michelle Dennis, one of the most talented pastry chefs I’ve known.

Ingredients

cups fresh cranberries, washed and picked through
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. flour
~ Zest of 1 orange
¼ cup fresh orange juice
~ Pinch of salt
1 tsp. melted butter
~ Flaky Sweet Pastry Dough (Pâte Sucrée)

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out the pastry dough to ¼-inch thickness and press into tart pan.
  2. Mix together the cranberries, sugar, orange zest and juice, salt, and melted butter. Pour mixture into tart crust and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Orange and cranberries what a perfect combination. Think this would work with half raspberries?

The tart looks good and plan to try. But a grammatical point: pate (pronounced like pot in English) in pate sucree has no accent over the “e”. That would make it something like finely ground liver to spread on toast.

jlabajian: You’re right, the “e” in pâte doesn’t need the accent aigu; that was a typo we’ve fixed. But of course, the words pâte (for pastry crust), pâté (for a soft spread), and pâtes (for pasta) are all related — they all basically mean “mushy paste.”
