Crostata Di Noci E Mirtilli Rossi: Cranberry Walnut Tart image

This recipe comes from the 1998 Recipes of the Five Brothers: Volume I cookbook by Lipton. My mother made this once, and it was delicious. It is, however, very tart - so add more sugar to the cranberry filling if tart is not your thing. The recipe is for both the dough and the filling, and prep time includes 1 hour chill time.

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 tart, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
2 1/2 tablespoons ice water
2 cups fresh cranberries
1/2 chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Pulse briefly to combine.
  • Add chilled butter and lemon rind, pulse 10-12 times or until butter mixture resembles coarse oatmeal.
  • With food processor running, add ice water all at once.
  • Process for about 10 seconds until a ball of dough forms.
  • Turn dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Flatten to form a 1-inch circle. Wrap dough tightly and refrigerate at least one hour.
  • Roll dough into an 11-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place dough on a baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, thoroughly combine cranberries, walnuts, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and brown sugar.
  • Spoon cranberry mixture over crust, leaving about a 1-inch border around the outside edge. Fold dough over cranberries, pinching as necessary to keep it in place.
  • Bake 15-18 minutes, or until crust is golden and berries are juicy.
  • Cool on a rack about 10 minutes. Dust with sifted confectioners sugar.
  • Serve warm.
