Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup superfine sugar
Pinch of salt
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup chilled Vin Santo (traditional Italian wine)
2 cups best-quality cherry jam
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, sugar, salt, and zest; pulse 2 or 3 times to mix. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • In a small bowl, beat egg yolks with Vin Santo. With machine running, add to flour mixture; process until dough comes together and pulls away from sides of bowl, 5 to 6 seconds. Turn dough out onto work surface; shape into disc. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, thin the jam with hot water a teaspoon at a time, stirring until smooth; season with a dash of pepper. Mix well. Set aside.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a circle 14 inches in diameter. Fit dough into a 12-inch fluted round tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing gently into sides and bottom. Trip excess pastry by rolling the rolling pin across top. Spread jam mixture over dough.
  • Bake until filling is glossy and dough is deeply golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for several minutes. Serve warm.
