RED WINE-POACHED PRUNE TART



Red Wine-Poached Prune Tart image

Prunes, or dried plums (as they are sometimes called), become downright irresistible when drenched in a flavorful concoction of red wine, sugar, cinnamon, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Here, the poached fruit gets baked atop puff pastry for an easy, elegant dessert.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups red wine
Finely grated zest of 1 orange, plus 2/3 cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 oranges)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 pound (3 cups) pitted prunes, halved
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 box store-bought puff pastry, preferably all butter, thawed, or 1/4 recipe Puff Pastry (page 334)
1 large egg, for egg wash
1 tablespoon heavy cream, for egg wash
Crème fraîche or Whipped Cream (page 340), for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring wine, orange juice, 1/2 cup sugar, and the cinnamon stick to a boil. Remove from heat; add prunes, and let steep 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer prunes to a bowl. Return liquid to a boil; cook until slightly reduced and thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out and trim dough to a 12-by-9-inch rectangle. (If necessary, overlap edges of 2 smaller pieces to form a larger rectangle; brush overlap with water to seal, then roll out dough.) Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine orange zest and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; sprinkle evenly over pastry. Arrange prunes in rows over pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and cream; brush over edges of pastry.
  • Bake, brushing tart with reserved cooking liquid halfway through, until crust is golden, about 28 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve warm with crème fraîche or whipped cream.
